Waidmann pit

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 …

Wanted: A short tour somewhere between Siegen and Beddelhausen ➡️
Browsed around on Komoot and came across a route near Unglinghausen.🔝
Without too much expectation, we set off from the Kredenbacher Höhe hiking car park. First, we noticed that the suggested route, apart from a small detour, corresponds exactly to the "Onkelküser Themenrundweg" marked with a "U". Because we always …

Great circular route in a varied landscape. There is a lot to see and discover. A must for all tree fans. Along the way, the "Trees of the Year" from the last 30 years have been replanted and provided with information boards. Unconditional recommendation

Oooh, this circular route is actually on our doorstep and we have actually never walked it completely. 🙈Today we finally realized how beautiful it is and how easy it is to walk even in the heat.

@Bruno... & Konsorten: soooo many tree sponsors on this path. Really great thing 🌲🌳🍁🍂🍃👍👏

Another village in the series of villages in the district of Siegen Wittgenstein. And as mentioned below, the trees of the year are planted along the route.

The better starting point would be at the hiking portal: Kredenbacher Höhe.
Then the round trip would also be approx. 1.5 km shorter.
Unfortunately, the waymarking was a bit poor, so that a map/navigation is an advantage.

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.
