Again and again a nice round from Petergensfeld (car park at the Schützenhalle), through the Wesertal, over the Weserberg to the confluence of the Weser and Eschbach. Up the Eschbach to the Kutenhard Venn to Reinartzhof, along the Steinbach and Weser back to Petergensfeld.

Through Weserbachtal, Steinbachtal and Eschbachtal up to the high plateau of the High Fens - and that with the best autumn weather! The seemingly calm streams reveal the legacies of the July flood: demolition edges, destroyed bridges, rubble on paths and piled wood. The tour is not for small children because it is adventurous in places and with branching roots …

"Rough and untouched, this landscape challenges body and mind. This hike leads deep into the forest and to the edge of the Kutenhart Fens."

This is how the hike in the German-Belgian border region is described. And indeed, the varied hike has a lot to offer: heathlands, moss-covered forests, and colorful flower meadows. A largely wild landscape.

Today we started our hike in Roetgen. Despite occasional drizzle, mud, slippery roots, and stones, it was still a fantastic hike.

The route led mostly along small forest and root-covered paths beside the streams Eschbach, Steinbach, and Weser, mostly through Belgian territory, before returning to Roetgen.

To finish off the day, we stopped for refreshments together in Roetgen.

It was a very interesting hike. Weser has hardly any water, so I walked on the river stones without any problems. I also tried a pair of blackberries.

After a tip from @Rimo today I walked a route from Roetgen along the Weser, Eschbach, Steinbach and the Venn...it is a bright sunny day with spring-like temperatures of 17 degrees, where my fleece jacket quickly came off...a beautiful walk over great tree root paths, along the babbling water of the streams and the silence in the woods...it was beautiful …

Today I immersed myself in another world on the pleasure hike 21.
The tour starts in Röttgen directly at the tourist center, which is located on the Ravel. From here you first walk through the settlement towards Petergensfeld or Wald. At the first small bridge that crosses the Weser, you turn off into adventure. The path quickly becomes wild and …

My conclusion on this tour:
A fantastic, natural tour through dense forest area along wild streams and rivers that arise in the high plateau of the High Fens! 👌😃
If you like to run on single trails and root paths and want to have the rushing of numerous streams in your ears, this is the place for you! 💦

Beautiful hike!! Unfortunately, the wooden bridge is currently destroyed, but you can still change banks when the water level is low.

Unfortunately, the number of kilometers of 20km is not correct; the route has a map error. Overall, the route is "only" about 16km long - but it's definitely worth it.
