Highlight • Viewpoint

You should definitely take a nice rest here (if the rest area is free) - in the middle of the forest, directly before the "final climb" before Küstelberg, it is simply a beautiful place.

August 8, 2022,Von Elkeringhausen zum Gipfelkreuz Alte Grimme

It was a few meters up to the cross, but the descent was very steep down the slope. However, the view from the cross is priceless. The largest part of the trail was the Winterberger Hochtour trail.

May 31, 2024,⛰️ Alte Grimme 751m 🥾– Zeche Elend Runde von Elkeringhausen🪻mit Kind 👨‍👩‍👦

It was a challenging hiking trail. The "Alte Grimmen" (750 m above sea level) is Elkeringhausen's local mountain. The trail mostly leads through the forests. But we were still able to enjoy wide views in some places. We were lucky with the weather 🌤️ Our reward was at the top of the summit cross with the magnificent view over Elkeringhausen …

May 21, 2024,Rundwanderung Alte Grimme und Orketal von Elkeringhausen

In Elkeringhausen we first went to the spa gardens and the playground, then started the hike over the Alte Grimme. First through the village, then along forest paths until we came to a narrow path that led us through the forest to a saddle between the Rösberg and the Alte Grimme. Here we took a short break on a bench …

The tour to the Alte Grimme had been on my to-do list for a while and while it was very drizzly in many places in the Sauerland, it was fortunately dry here.
It started in the middle of the village (where you can park for free) …
