September 10, 2024,RuHe-Pfad: Hauptweg + Themenschleife Mariengrotte 🙏

Long planned and now finally done. The RuHe-Pfad in Attendorn Helden. A really beautiful and very varied hiking trail. The main path is very well signposted🐌, about 14 km long and can be extended to about 20 km with two themed loops. It is better to take your food with you, there are no places to stop for refreshments. There …

Nice round over the heights around heroes, but unfortunately also through or over bare areas, greetings from the bark beetle. We had missed a junction, so we adjusted the lap without further ado. But with a cool cyclist from the "earth depot" at the SGV hut.

New tour about heroes. The tour is definitely worth it. Great new vantage points and many new opportunities to rest. We will go on the tour more often now. It's probably even better in the summer.
Have fun following up 👍🏼

June 25, 2023,👍der RuHe Pfad rund ums schöne Helden und Golf ⛳️ platz

Very nice circular route around Helden in the Repetal. Interesting stations on the route make the journey very entertaining. The road section was small and on the way back we found a nice restaurant where we enjoyed home-brewed Heldener beer. The Sonnenalm always has "Qualm auf der Alm" on Tuesdays in summer. It's still on the agenda. Unfortunately, the SGV …

We hiked the main route here, which can also be extended by two themed trails, one to the Mariengrotte (1.9 km) and the second to the biotope themed loop (5.8 km). Today we walked the main route with about …
