Hiking

Meadows, forests, heathland and plenty of altitude, because the tour is not called "You can't get any higher" for nothing: look forward to a varied hike around Niedersfeld. The start and end point of the tour is the hiking portal at the Niedersfeld Schützenhalle.

Langenberg Summit (843 m) – Highest Point in North Rhine-Westphalia

Highlight • Summit

Little known but beautiful! The Langenberg lies between Bruchhausen, Wiemeringhausen, Niedersfeld and Willingen. Rothaar and Uplandsteig run directly over the summit. There is a stamp of the Assinghauser hiking pin on the cross.

Forest path in Naturpark Sauerland-Rothaargebirge

Highlight • Trail

A wonderfully green, narrow aisle runs through the forest. From time to time the view opens up – to more beautiful forest.

Niedersfeld High Heath

Highlight • Natural

The landscape in the Neuer Hagen nature reserve is unique. A nice open area with lots of views. In late summer the colorful Besenheide, in winter when there is snow it is a beautiful cross-country skiing area.

Today was a hike that we had on our to do list for a long time. From Niedersfeld near Winterberg you went on a tour to Langenberg, at 843m the highest mountain in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was really easy to go uphill. But after about 3 km there was a super steep ascent through the forest with a full 28% …

I found the summary of the tour suggestion on verwandern.de, including the GPX file, very appealing, so I chose it for my last day in the Sauerland. My goal was to be back at the car by 4 p.m. at the latest, as I still had a 4.5-hour return journey ahead of me.

Day 2 of yoga and hiking in Sauerland. A yoga session in the morning, then out into the fresh air. We had quite a bit of weather, sunny periods and cool showers. But that didn't dampen the mood. Before eating, a yoga class and then a meditation. 😊
