Hohe Bracht in the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Hohe Bracht observation tower, you have a fantastic panoramic view over large parts of the Sauerland region, across to the Ebbegebirge and the Rothaargebirge mountains. After enjoying the view, you can take a break in the café.

Bilstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Beautiful castle, which is only accessible from one side. On the other sides, the rock drops steeply, which was of course a perfect location for such a castle back then. …

June 19, 2025,Veischeder Sonnenpfad☀️ ab Wanderparkplatz Einsiedelei🅿️🥾🥾

Highlight-Wanderung am Feiertag🥾🥾: Mit dem 38 km langen Veischeder Sonnenpfad nahm ich eine Strecke unter die Füße, die schon lange in meiner Komoot-Sammlung schlummert. Für die exklusive Runde im Bereich Lennestadt/Olpe sollte möglichst alles stimmen: Die Landschaft sollte grün💚 sein und ein Sonnenpfad ohne Sonne ist auch blöd – zudem sollte reichlich Zeit für die Tour eingeplant werden⏰. Heute war …

I just love... diving into the snow and then being catapulted forward with full grip. An incredibly beautiful tour between Biggesee and Lennestadt, especially now when everything is white.

In my opinion, this path is one of the most beautiful in the Sauerland; It wasn't just the snow that contributed to this, but also really great hiking trails, lots of …

The name says it all ☀️
Since you mostly climb around on mountain ridges, you get a lot of sun.
Deforestation due to bark beetle infestation does the rest.
Of course, you then have more wide/distant views.
By the way, I didn't like the paths at all. Mostly wide forest and gravel roads and hardly any paths.
The tour can …

A beautiful path with great views. The only drawback is the path drawing on some corners and the maintenance of the paths. Something needs to be done urgently. You should definitely download the tour and run with navigation.

October 8, 2022,Immer dem "Vogel-Vau" hinterher - Veischeder Sonnenpfad

The Veischeder Sonnenpfad has been on my "to-do list" for a long time. The start of the tour is only five to ten minutes away from me by car, and today it was just the right time.
There were plenty of great paths and great views.
I started in a light drizzle, which then subsided quite quickly. But fog came …

What should I do today with the ingredients wanderlust, sunshine and curiosity about another hiking region? I remembered a DAV tour (so here's a thank you to Anke from DAV Solingen) that I couldn't hike with: the Veischeder Sonnenpfad near Lennestadt in Sauerland. The name comes from the Veischede, a stream that flows in the valley. But you will rarely …
