Dreisel Ascent Trail with Shelter

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The descent down to victory is not without its dangers. Especially in autumn and winter it can get very smooth and slippery on the leaves, rocks or roots! Watch out! After all, a few ropes are stretched ....

Wilberhofen Viewpoint Shelter

Highlight • Viewpoint

For a short time you have to part from the view of the river, it goes steeply up to the Auenberg. The view from the refuge compensates for that!

July 12, 2022,Mr. Pfade: Abenteuertour Windeck

First of all, the information that it is a somewhat more demanding tour and that ability and fitness are required right after the start. This could bring some chilled couch potatoes to their limits, but get involved in the adventure, you will be rewarded! Wild and beautiful mountain paths lead picturesquely through nature and again and again you can catch …

The ridge passage in the direction of Windeck Castle is probably unique in the region and offers the adventurer almost alpine hiking. In the middle, a short climbing variant branches off that leads directly over the rock formations (safety instructions). On the Auelsberg it gets a little more comfortable again. In the end, 3-4 fallen trees have to be mastered …

This adventure tour was exactly what I was looking for! ☺️

Really beautiful narrow paths (some of them exposed), a lovely ridge path to the Windeck Castle ruins, and fantastic viewpoints are all on offer here.

Highly recommended. 👌🏼

So after breakfast I packed my tent again and drove a little bit towards home...

On the way to Bonn, we still had time for a hike today. The tour template from @Daniel came in handy (thanks so much!), which I expanded to include a climb at the end.

We first headed to Windeck Castle, which is definitely worth a visit, via some very steep, adventurous, and exposed trails (if the mountain trail is too …

We started at the parking lot on the Sieg River in Dreisel. Cross the Sieg Bridge to the other side and immediately turn right …
