The treetops gently sway above your head, you walk across soft forest floor and gaze at the magnificent mountain landscape: All this awaits you on the Rothaarsteig. Once you're on the trail, you'll understand why the trail is also called the "Path of the Senses."

Start: Ritzhagen Chairlift, Willingen

Destination: Ettelsberg Tower, Ettelsberg

We took the chairlift up to the access path to the Rothaarsteig. It was a slight climb. We walked along the Richtplatz and along the Rothaarsteig trail.

A wide forest path led us to the upper Burbecker Platz and further to the

The 4th stage of the Rothaarsteig takes you 24.3 km from Schanze through various forests and beautiful ridge paths to the Rhein-Weser-Turm. We walked the stage with a break at the Schäferhof in 8:30 hours.

This varied hike takes you almost 19 km through the picturesque landscape of the Sauerland. From the train station in Winterberg, it goes past the St. Georg ski jump to the Kahler Asten (841 m), one of the highest peaks in North Rhine-Westphalia. Highlights such as the Lennequelle, the historic Heidenstock

I spent the night in the cozy Stadthotel Rech in Brilon, but I started my fourth day of hiking again at the Hiebammenhütte, where I had stopped the day before. 🌄 Since I was out early, a thick fog lay over the hilly landscape - a magical atmosphere that made the start special. 🌫✨

My third day of hiking began at the Waldhotel, which is idyllically located on a lodge site in Willingen. 🌲 I descended into the town, only to immediately tackle a few meters of altitude again. 🏞 The path towards Bruchhauser Steine led me along varied forest paths. A small detour takes you to the impressive

After checking out of the rustic Grimmeblick country hotel, I realized what I had missed. 🌿 A quick look into the garden with saunas, beach and pool made me smile several times. Particularly impressive: a huge shark hanging in the air directly above the pool! 🦈 I started my second day of hiking with
