Wayside Shrine in Naturpark Sauerland-Rothaargebirge

Highlight • Religious Site

Many crossroads or small chapels line some paths. They were often set up or built by private individuals. They are often very beautiful and lovingly designed.

March 4, 2023,Blick auf den Biggeesee – Biggeblick Runde von Attendorn

Did the first tour together in the "new" year today and that in the Hanseatic city. The weather could have been better, but we don't want to complain because it didn't rain or snow, so we were lucky.
Our mistresses hiked uphill and downhill with us again, sometimes even discovering new paths. I didn't want to go any further at …

Parked in the parking area below the Bigge Dam, the trail to the start of the loop led first up to the dam itself. At 0 degrees Celsius, it was ideal for warming up. At the eastern end of the dam, the well-marked Two Castles Trail begins. Initially, it follows the shoreline before leading through the forest past the beautiful …

Very great hike. Lost twice because the signage at one crossing was not clear and at another crossing the sign on the path showed something different than the hiking sign, which was hidden behind a tree.

Beautiful, scenic route, but relatively unspectacular. It leads mostly along wide, easy-to-walk forest paths and a little over asphalt to the Biggesee. The top highlight is definitely the Biggeblick at the SGV hut at Attendorn. And when it's open, it's even better! 😁👍
The hut's opening times can be found on the SGV Attendorn website.

Today we hiked the 2 Castles Trail in Attendorn. The path is very well signposted with the path logo to the 2 castles. We parked below the Biggedamm and started the hike from there, which extends the hike by 1.4 km. The path led us along the Biggesee to the Waldenburg chapel 🙏🕯. From here we went uphill to the …

Beautiful and varied path. I walked it today, Wednesday. But I wouldn't walk it at the weekend because of the many people at Waldenburg Bay.

Good for hiking in summer, as it's mostly through forest. Bring a swimsuit if you want to cool off in the Bigge. Mostly forest paths, so it's not too strenuous. Still, it's varied and offers beautiful views over Viega and Attendorn.
