Bridge across the Felsenmeer (Hemer)

Highlight • Bridge

Incredibly beautiful geotope. The rock formations are quite impressive. On the one hand, you can marvel at it through a viewing platform, and on the other hand, through a footbridge …

Not only a nice view but also a good place for a tour start. Even before the barrier, you can park your vehicle on the side of the road.

Again a very nice tour in connection with the Sauerland forest route. Varied with beautiful views.

October 6, 2024,⛰️ Hemer "Felsenmeer" und über Ispei 🌲

So today we went to Hemer with 3 ladies, where we first looked at the sea of rocks, then we completed a circular route with a lot of elevation gain, there were always great views of the surrounding mountain landscape ⛰️ to see. We came via Ispei and then took the Hexenstich (which is quite a challenge) and then climbed …

A beautiful loop in bright sunshine. 🌞 The start and finish was the Felsenmeer (Sea of Rocks) in Hemer.

September 25, 2022,Waldroutensage - Runde um Hemer/Deilinghofen ⛰️🌲🌞

I was once again driven to the Sauerland to actually see the Felsenmeer. I'll anticipate it... That was the least exciting thing of all. ☺️ The Sauerland forest route path is awesome. The meters in altitude are quite high, although the first climb is quite long and flat. Good to deal with. The second to Brockhausen is up 🤢🤮🥵. So …

June 25, 2023,Felsenmeer Hemer – Treppe durch die Felsen Runde von Ispei

If you go in spring or summer, you should get on well with Autan, at the beginning and end it is full of brakes. But it is a nice tour and great to walk 😊

May 3, 2025,Treppe durch die Felsen – Brücke durchs Felsenmeer Runde von Deilinghofen

Today we finally went hiking outside again, not just jogging or walking 😊 The Felsenmeer certainly deserves its name! Despite the foggy weather today, it was a beautiful hike. Nice ups and downs, lots of quiet villages, and lots of greenery. Overall, a great trip ☺️

April 12, 2025,🥵🌞⛰️ Berg und Tal Tour vom Felsenmeer ⛰️🌞🥵

Unfortunately, the GPS was a bit erratic at the beginning of the tour, but that quickly improved. A slight variation would be to start the tour in Ispei. Then you'd have the steep climb right at the beginning and the beautiful sea of rocks as a highlight in the middle of the tour, not right at the beginning. But even …

reisefunken.de/deutschland-waldroute-hemer

I “stole” this tour from Reisefunken and it was really great. Varied, easy to walk and sometimes wonderful views!
But it's not really suitable for midsummer, as you spend a lot of time outdoors.
