Grenzweg, from Sauerland and Wittgenstein. In history, the path repeatedly separated... state borders, religious borders, church district borders, etc.

On these great paths on the Rothaarsteig, here the Rothaarkammweg, the interaction between hikers and mountain bikers is not a problem, as the paths are almost continuously quite wide. Very nice route guidance
