It's now a top downhill trail. Beware of pedestrians with dogs running loose.

The U hiking trail runs along the Bommecke stream. The wide farm track has now become a small, narrow path. It's fun to walk or ride a mountain bike. But be careful of the water gullies!

very nice route, little traffic

Bommecke means "stream surrounded by trees" and that is exactly what awaits you here. While the stream flows gently over the stones in its bed, you walk through a quiet forest and sometimes along a meadow.

Once you have "worked" your way up from the Hönne valley from Garbeck and via Leveringhausen to the Kohlberg, you can reward yourself with the kilometer-long descent through the Stephanopler valley to Hemer-Sundwig. Be careful: the road is quite narrow, and cars occasionally come towards you.

A small trail has been created here... Be careful...it goes down quite steeply on one side.

The scenery is indeed extremely attractive, especially in spring. On a Saturday afternoon, perhaps 6 vehicles overtook me. It's hard to imagine less traffic in our latitudes.

The name of the small town of Stephanopel actually comes from the Balkans. At the end of the 18th century, Stephan Lührmann, a manufacturer and merchant in the field of canvas, traded heavily with the countries in the East and learned about place names that ended in -pol, which was derived from the Greek polis. Without further ado, he named the settlement in which he ran his business after himself: Stephanopolis or Stephanopel, as it is called today.
