Here the Rothaarsteig runs over the Grenzweg, which once separated the Sauerland from the Electorate of Cologne and the Waldecker Land. Today it is the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse. The forest path is beautifully left in its natural state, with lots of roots and a decent ascent and descent. In the middle of it crosses a small stream that has to be crossed;)

Hiking

The Grenzweg runs on the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse. The steep ascent leads directly to the 843 m high Langenberg, which is the highest mountain in North Rhine-Westphalia. I would really advise caution when descending in wet conditions, as it is sometimes quite steep.

A beautiful Mooswiesen forest hiking trail with a lot of gradient, when the sun shines through the fir trees you are like in the fairy tale forest 🙃👍🌄
