Spider Sculpture on the Auenlandweg

Highlight • Monument

No matter how big the ant in Siegen may be, the spider is scarier...
At least for me.
The Shire Trail is simply unique and comparisons are somehow unnecessary.

View of the Sieg

Highlight • Viewpoint

After a steep ascent you will be rewarded with a fantastically beautiful view of the Sieg. Not far away there is also a sun lounger to relax and linger.

Meadow Path Below Steckensteiner Kopf

Highlight • Trail

After the bell on the top of the mountain, which is a gimmick on the robbers' path, you return to the valley via this beautiful path.

Gimli Wooden Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The dwarf Gimli, known from the Lord of the Rings saga, was beautifully carved here.
He was also made from a single piece.
Incredible, what magnificent woodwork!

Gollum Wooden Sculpture on the Auenlandweg

Highlight • Monument

"Aaah, nasty hobbit" - Gollum is sitting here in a typical pose on a tree stump. If you turn around, you can literally hear him whispering behind you.

Unfortunately, we once had to cross a closed meadow because there is no longer a path.

Beautiful moderately difficult hike from Niederhöfels train station.
Over the Steckensteiner Kopf with a great victory panorama to the Auenlandpfad with the well-known wooden figures from Lord of the Rings.
The way back along the Sieg on a beautiful path.
The entire route offers highlights again.

October 31, 2021,Räuber Weg, Botanischer Weg, Auenland Weg Eine Reise hin und zurück

Another great route from '"Wander um Westerwald"
Starting with the robber path, which offers wonderful views, the almost tunnel-like botanical path and the Auenland path with its wooden sculptures from "Lord of the Rings"
We left out the mudiest stretch and you could climb over or under the broken tree

February 4, 2023,Steckensteiner Kopf-Natursteig ,- und Erlebnisweg Sieg- Auenlandweg- Runde von Steckenstein

Recommended, varied round, partly challenging on the natural trail Sieg. The slopes are wet and partly very steep, especially today after a lot of rain and snowmelt it was very slippery and required maximum concentration. A steel cable was only attached to a small part of the slope to hold it.

October 31, 2021,Botanischer -, Auenland - und Räuberweg 💪🏼😅

It was a strenuous hike with many obstacles. 😅 Some paths were blocked by fallen trees that you had to crawl under. There were also a lot of altitude to master. It always went up and down. And the path along the Wied was very steep, but also just beautiful. Due to the many leaves and the wetness, the risk …
