December 12, 2023,Golddorf-Route Grafschaft 🏆

The starting point of my tour was the “Wilzenberg” hiking car park, as there are very few parking spaces in town. The route is well signposted, just follow the golden "G" on a red background! Impossible to get lost! 😉 Beautiful tour with great views, absolutely recommended!

June 16, 2022,Golddorf Route "Grafschaft" ☀️🌳🦋

For today's trip I chose the Golddorf route near Grafschaft.
The paths on and around the Wilzenberg are really nice and shady and pleasant to walk on. But the forest and meadow paths also have their charm and enchant with wonderful views of the Sauerland and beautiful views of the climatic health resort.
On the way you will always find …

Today I was out and about in the Schmallenberg area again - I started at Grafschaft Monastery because I couldn't find a parking space in the village.

First of all, I'd like to mention the poor signage; I wouldn't have been able to do the tour without Komoot. There are plenty of signs where you don't need them, but none …
