The Natursteig Sieg is a long-distance hiking trail that was opened in April 2011 and leads 196.4 km in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate through the Rhein-Sieg district and the Altenkirchen district . It begins in the Siegburg district of Wolsdorf and connects cities and towns on the Sieg (for the time being) to Mudersbach train station .

The climb was chosen so that the individual stages can be easily reached by public transport from Cologne , Troisdorf and Siegen via the stops on the Siegtal route . The Steig has been a certified hiking trail since 2013 . It is possible to purchase a stamp pass and fill it up at the various stamping points along the path.

The continuation of the climb in three further stages towards the Siegquelle near Netphen is in planning ; the climb should then be over 250 km long. The establishment of the signposting for these new stages was originally supposed to be completed in August 2019; implementation is currently being pursued by summer 2020.
