Path Along the Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Once you've conquered the tough climb, you'll arrive directly at the wall of the castle ruins. The embrasures are particularly well-preserved.

View of Burg Windeck

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is our milestone: Burg 🏰 Windeck! Always worth a hike because everything is included: culture, a bit of a more demanding path and finally a stop at Elmores!

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 ....

October 19, 2025,Aussicht von der Burgruine Windeck – Burgruine Windeck Runde von Schladern (Sieg)

In my opinion, the waterfall isn't the worthwhile destination of this tour. You can only get a glimpse of the waterfall from one vantage point, and that's from the side. The opposite side, which can also be reached via a bridge, isn't worth it at all in my opinion! This stupid villa makes it impossible to get a decent view …

Finally summer! Despite the high temperatures, we went on a varied hike. Sometimes through small villages, then along forest paths, along fields and through the Siegauen. The waterfall was not particularly spectacular due to the low water level.
Windeck Castle is worth seeing. There is a lot of information.
After the hike, we enjoyed our cold drinks in Elmores, a …

The Siegfall is a waterfall on the Sieg River in the village of Schladern in the North Rhine-Westphalian municipality of Windeck. The water cascades 84 meters across and reaches a depth of approximately 6 meters. In the panoramic view below, the Sieg flows from the south. (According to Wikipedia)
Currently, it's more of a small stream without a waterfall. A …

I cannot recommend the path to Auelsberg, it is extremely steep and often blocked by tree felling. However, once you get to the top, the path is beautiful....

Another tour in the beautiful Windecker Ländchen today: the meander path. I took the train to Schladern again in a very environmentally friendly way (thank you for the 9 euro ticket), from there it went through the Krummauel (an old arm of the Sieg) up to Windeck Castle, then down to the Altwindeck museum village, further up in the direction …
