Highlight • Historical Site

Mining again. Ore mining again. It's amazing how meticulously our ancestors searched the whole of Siegerland for mineral resources. Sometimes more, sometimes less successful.

Cornelia has chosen a fine route that we didn't even know would be so beautiful. We set off from the Unglinghausen hiking car park through beautiful beech forests. There were always panoramic views of the surrounding area, of purple mountain slopes with foxgloves. In some places the route was confusing, we were glad that Komoot was able to help us …

A varied circular route around Unglinghausen. If you want to hike afterwards, we would recommend the route in the opposite direction ... The signs are not always clear - our built-in detours enrich the path with a tunnel and beautiful panoramic views.
