The display boards along the wire trade route provide interesting details about the manufacturing industry in the region.

The wire trading trail is an approx. 32 km long hiking trail between Iserlohn, Altena and Lüdenscheid in the Sauerland. It basically follows an old trade route from the late Middle Ages and early modern times, on which wire was transported over the mountains.

Iron ore is still the metal. Today as well. What do we make of it?!? Wire alone is not just wire, but also braid, for example. Exciting.

"... The rock in the Märkisches Sauerland region contains a lot of iron ore. The red, brown and clay iron stone found close to the surface was first extracted from the open-cast mine; you can still see the digging holes in the woods, so-called ping. The iron ore-bearing rock obtained in this way was further processed in racing furnaces that were built in the immediate vicinity of the iron ore nests, which gives the name Iserlohn: Iser = iron, wage = Forest ...

Today's hiking trail, which is a little over 30km long, combines nature with industrial and commercial history. The information boards convey a lot of interesting information that would often not be obvious at first glance.

Iserlohn fairy tale trail. To the left and right of the path you will find fairytale scenes as well as solvable tasks and small puzzles for children. The fairy tales can also be read aloud using QR codes. With the answer and the numbers found, you open the fairy tale treasure chest and you can take a little souvenir with you. Great!
