The tour from Vormwald to Lützel on the Rothaarsteig is a breathtaking hike that can be reached by public transport. It leads to dizzying heights and those who dare to make the ascent are rewarded with magnificent views of the snow-covered landscape. The hike begins at Vormwald train station and leads up to the Rothaarsteig via hiking trail X3. After just a few steps, you reach Ginsburg Castle, the first highlight of the tour. It is worth climbing up to the castle, as you can enjoy a wonderful view over the snow-covered Siegerland from up there. You can take a break either here or at the nearby Hotel Ginsberger Heide. The trail continues through the Ginsberger Heide, a nature reserve with rare plant and animal species, towards the Giller. At 653 m, the Giller is the highest point in this area. A climb up the Gillerberg tower offers a special view of the landscape. But there are also great views from the foot of the tower. Depending on the weather, you can watch a beautiful sunset here. After about 1.7 kilometers on the Rothaarsteig, you reach Lützel train station. This tour is an experience all year round, with refreshment stops along the way.

  • BaldeneySteig
    Essen
    Ganz klar: Das Wandern ist längst nicht mehr nur allein des Müllers Lust. Das wäre auch zu schade, denn seit 2017 lädt der knapp 27 Kilometer lange BaldeneySteig zu Wandertouren rund um Essens Stausee ein. Es geht durch Wälder, über Wiesen und Felder und vorbei an urigen Bauernhöfen. Tolle Ausblicke inklusive. Zudem gibt es vier Abstecher zu besonderen kulturellen Highlights, die von der Hauptroute aus erlaufen werden können. Wenn die Füße mal nach einer Pause verlangen, lassen sich Teile des Steigs, der mit 600 Höhenmetern aufwartet, auch mit dem ÖPNV, der Weißen Flotte oder der Hespertalbahn zurücklegen.
