Dommel Valley and Dommel Mill

Highlight • Natural

Bach, valley and mountain - everything is called Dommel. Even a mill / farm bears this name. In any case, the name combines tranquility and scenic beauty.

Even a geodetic reference point won't help if you program the watch incorrectly. Therefore, subtract 4000 meters from the altitude.

July 26, 2021,Uplandsteig - Von Willingen nach Ottlar

After the Diemelsteig it was the turn of the 66 km long Uplandsteig. Associated with this was initially a change of location from the very tranquil Schweinsbühl to the much busier Willingen. There we just quickly deposited our luggage in the hotel, which is almost directly on the hiking trail, and followed the circuit out of the well-known winter sports …

May 16, 2022,Uplandsteig - Tag 1 - Von Willingen (Upland) nach Dommel

Our first stage on the Uplandsteig was also the one with the most vertical meters and the steepest ascents and descents. We were rewarded for this with the wonderful meadow valleys of the Itter, the Aarbach and the Dommel or the Wiedbach as well as wonderful views over the heights of the uplands. The highlight was certainly the extensive complex …

April 14, 2024,Uplandsteig - Tag 1 - 🤸🌼🌷☀️

Today we started the first stage of the Uplandsteig. The path leads through little forest but lots of meadows and views. I really liked the route, including the short detour from the Kneipp pool. Everything is very well signposted. The short but challenging detour up to the Dommelturm is also worth it👍 We stopped at a bus stop near Dommel: …

September 17, 2023,Uplandsteig Tag 3: Niegelscheid- Willingen

Unfortunately, the paths on this tour were often asphalted or wide gravel. Therefore, the terrain is less demanding - but there are a lot of ups and downs, which made the route more exciting again.
Part of the original Uplandsteig had to be bypassed due to logging work.
Places to stop for refreshments were again rare: the first café that …

In fantastic hiking weather, today we went on the 3rd stage of the Uplandsteig from Willingen to Dommel. With the summer temperatures, the many forest sections donated good. The shade. Due to forestry work, a small detour had to be run from the Schwalefeld pedal pool, but this did not detract from the great overall route. Now it's time to …

June 19, 2025,2025 - Deutschland - Hochsauerland - Uplandsteig - Etappe 1+2 - Von Willingen über Rattlar nach Eimelrod

This morning we set off from Willingen. We parked our car near the starting point of the Uplandsteig. From there, it was a good hour's walk. As we walked, we became increasingly doubtful whether we had parked our car properly, as there was a Schlager festival planned for Saturday. So we quickly took a taxi and parked the car just …
