A nice place to rest right on the trail with a tree stump sawn into an owl and two almost right-angled benches made from one piece of wood.

Saukaute Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

There are several forked paths in the area of the refuge. The paths are given names. A good shelter in bad weather. Otherwise, the hut is also great for a rest.

Trödelstein Trail Along the Heller Stream

Highlight • Trail

The junk path is worth it, a beautiful area.

The Buchheller is something special: 16 pits, eleven tributaries and seven nature reserves border this small stream. The valley itself is a very beautiful nature reserve with interesting stone formations.

Very nice and varied hiking trail, which has many sections in the forest and therefore in the shade, which was really pleasant yesterday at 25/26 degrees. Unfortunately my watch hung up at about 2/3 of the route and no longer recorded the route, so I stole the tour from Jana and imported it, as she was the first to inspire …

According to the Internet, the junk stone path is finally accessible again ... well ... the signs that it is blocked are still everywhere ... but it can be walked almost everywhere again, with a few small exceptions

This circular hiking trail is an absolute highlight in our region.
For me, it is one of the top 10 most beautiful hiking trails that I have hiked in more than 20 years.
There are hardly any farm tracks, but almost exclusively beautiful paths that you hike on.

I hiked this path yesterday at a sweaty 28 degrees. After the path was closed for a long time, it can now be walked in its entirety with a slightly different route. I didn't go through the changes because I wanted to see the original route.
I really enjoyed the hike.
Tip: Be sure to take enough water with you, …

April 21, 2024,Rothaarsteig Spur ~ Trödelsteinpfad

The Siegerland region has a long mining tradition. Ore was mined for centuries in Germany's most densely forested region. Tunnel mouths and slag remains still bear witness to this today. They offer hikers who follow the Rothaarsteig Trödelsteinpfad trail through the Buchheller valley up to the Trödelstein natural monument an interesting insight into the region's history. The "dream tour" awarded …
