November 24, 2025,Hiebammenhütte – Hiebammenhütte Runde von Olsberg

This hike also starts at the Waldhotel Schinkenwirt. A wonderful tour over the Borberg to the Hiebammenhütte...always beautiful in any weather, but especially in snow :-))

November 30, 2024,Sauerland: Olsberg, Weitblick Runde auf dem Rothaarsteig mit Borbergs Kirchhof, den zwei Juden, Hiebammen Hütte, Maxstollen und Schinkenwirt 🤩 bei traumhaftem Winterwetter ☀️👍

The weather forecast promised us two sunny days, so we spontaneously booked a shelter in the Sauerland. With frosty temperatures, wonderfully clear air and bright sunshine, we start our hike full of anticipation.

The increasingly narrow, natural path from Olsberg up to the Friedenskapelle and Borbergs Kirchhof is relatively steep for a short time and also has a slightly rocky …

July 20, 2024,Borberg Rundwanderung (Olsberg-Brilon)

We parked at the "Red Bridge" in Olsberg. First we went along an access path of the Rothaasteig on a narrow, steep path up to the Borberg. Here we found a chapel with benches and a view of Olsberg. A little way from the chapel you could see an old rampart. From here we went a little way along the …

May 25, 2025,Petersborn - Borberg - Hiebammenhütte

After a rainy night in Petersborn, we took a lovely hike from there to Borberg in the morning. Then we stopped for a bite to eat at the Hiebammenhütte, and then returned to Petersborn. Apparently, we weren't welcome there. A windshield wiper was stolen, leaving scratches on the paint. 🙁

December 15, 2024,Winter auf dem Rothaarsteig/Briloner Kammweg und Waldroute

From the Brilon Petersborn hiking car park we went to the village of Petersborn and then to the Wasserscheide, which is a shelter. We went over the Rothaarsteig to Borberg, where there was a lot to discover. Lots of benches to rest on and a churchyard. We went downhill via the Rothaarsteig access path and the Glockenpfad to hike back …
