The Rennweg is an old trade route that runs across the ridge south of the Möhne in the Arnsberg Forest . Today a main hiking route of the same name of the Sauerland Mountain Association leads over the route .

The historical trade route

The beginning of the Rennweg is west of the gatehouse on the banks of the Möhneseesee . From this point the hiker can hike along the gently rising ridge through the Arnsberg Forest to Hirschberg , a district of Warstein .

The Rennweg runs south parallel to the Haarstrang , which in the Soest area forms the border between the north German lowlands and the low mountain ranges.

North of the Möhne on the Haarstrang lies the old trade route Haarweg and south of the Rennweg between Hirschberg, Warstein and the Ruhrtal lies the higher Plackweg on the ridge line .
