The Rothaarsteig ( signpost R ) is a 156.8 km long long- distance hiking trail that was opened in 2001 and runs particularly along the main ridge of the Rothaargebirge , a low mountain range in North Rhine-Westphalia (NW) and Hesse (HE), and a detour as part of the Westerwald variant in the Westerwald , a low mountain range in North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate .
The German Hiking Institute in Marburg awarded the Rothaarsteig the German Premium Trail Hiking Seal , which was valid for three years until December 2014. Since December 2, 2016, the Steig has been certified as a quality hiking trail in Germany by the German Hiking Association .
overview
The Rothaarsteig was opened on May 6, 2001 on the Ginsburg . Its main route leads from Brilon (NW) through the Rothaargebirge mainly south-southwest, including over the Langenberg (highest mountain in North Rhine-Westphalia) to Dillenburg (HE).
Most of the Rothaarsteig lies in the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge nature park . It mostly runs along the Rhine-Weser watershed over mostly wooded mountains, through forest-lined valleys, past flowing water sources , passes natural and cultural monuments and leads, among other things, through nature reserves . The climb uses the existing network of paved and unpaved forest trails and connects mountains and sights in sparsely populated areas such as the Bruchhauser Steine , the Langenberg , the Kahler Asten , the Rhein-Weser-Turm , the Ginsburg as well as the Ruhr , Eder and Sieg - and Lahn spring . Several times he crosses the European long-distance hiking trail E1, which divides the section with him, and between Schmallenberg and Bad Berleburg he meets the WaldSkulpturenWeg .
Despite its course within a low mountain range, the Rothaarsteig is mostly easy to walk. It touches the areas of several medium- sized towns , including Winterberg , through which it runs directly. The climb is complemented by the valley path, which runs particularly through valleys ( Hochsauerland variant ; 13.7 km long) and the Westerwald variant (52.5 km) leading through the Westerwald .
Waymarks
The waymark ( waymark ) of the Rothaarsteig is a white R lying on its back on a red background. The connection paths leading from the valleys to the climb show the same sign, but in black on a yellow background.
course
Main way
The 156.8 km long Rothaarsteig main path, which includes the mountain path and which has the parallel valley path (Hochsauerland variant ) as a climbing variant, mainly leads through the Rothaar Mountains. Following the main path is described as a north-south direction (Brilon → Dillenburg) considered - heights of Hauptwegpunkte usually in meters (m) above mean sea level (MSL; unless otherwise stated loud /) or in exceptional cases in meters above mean sea level (MSL ; explicitly named according to) and partly also with distance kilometers (km; if not otherwise stated according to):
The trail that begins on the Brilon plateau in Brilon on the market square (approx. 450 m) initially leads south in the valley of the Möhne up to the Möhne spring (556 m), then past the Briloner Bürgerwald with the wooden artwork Kyrill- Tor (536 m) Gudenhagen-Petersborn (415 to 580 m) and a little later to the west down through the valley of the Aa tributary Hillbringse ( island ). Then it runs west of the small Hillbringse tributary Deitmecke up to the west shoulder of the Borberg (670.2 m); there you will find the Borbergskirchhof (max. 602 m; km 8.5), remains of the foundations of a monastery church and the Brilon Peace Chapel ( Marienkapelle ).
The trail then leads southeast to Habberg (653.3 m), south to Ginsterkopf (663.3 m) and over the ridge between the Schmala in the east and the Gierskoppbach tributary Limmecke in the west. Crossing the state road 743 laid out on the ridge between Brilon-Wald and Elleringhausen , it runs west to the information center at the Bruchhauser Steinen (up to 756 m; km 17.6) in order to circle these rocks east above Bruchhausen in an elongated left curve to the south.
Then the trail, approaching the valley of the Schmala again from the west, runs to the place of execution (762.6 m) south of its source directly on the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse , a former court of the old Kurkölner Gogerichts ; The Hoppernkopf summit (805 m) is about 800 m northeast of it . At the place of execution, the trail bends to the southwest and leads to and over the Langenberg (843.2 m; km 24.7), the highest mountain in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The trail then runs over the crossroads at Oberer Burbecker Platz (approx. 795 m) southwards to the Rothaarsteighütte (almost 800 m). There it bends to the east and leads directly south of the Neuer Hagen nature reserve and north of a diabase break that lies in the west shoulder of the Clemensberg (approx. 837 m; with Clemenskreuz ) to the eastern edge of the reserve on the border with North Rhine-Westphalia and Hoppecke spring located in Hessen (approx. 780 m; km 29.3).
The trail then leads south along this border. It passes the Itter spring (approx. 770 m) a few meters to the west and then, again running entirely in North Rhine-Westphalia, the Hopperkopf ( 832.3 m ) about 300 m southwest, and runs in the same direction to the Hillekopf (804.9 m), which it circles northeast. The path then leads down to the Medebach district of Küstelberg (666.1 m) with the Orke spring (646 m) to the south of it . In the village it bends towards the west and a little later crosses state road 872 to the Wagenschmier quarry (approx. 645 m). The trail then crosses Landesstraße 740 and passes the contained Ruhr spring (666.5 m; km 39.4), which is located with a picnic area around 330 m northeast of the Ruhrkopf summit (695.7 m).
After crossing the east flank of the Ruhrkopf near the summit, the trail runs south past the Dumel (720.1 m) south-west to the core town of Winterberg (667.9 m), after crossing the city center, about 600 m northeast of the Herrloh tunnel, the common section of the federal roads 236 and 480 to cross on a bridge. Then it leads to the St.-Georg-Schanze on the Herrloh (732.9 m) . Then the trail runs over the southeast and southern flanks of Poppenberg (745.8 m) and Bremberg (approx. 810 m), after which it crosses the state roads 640 and 540 and through the Hochheide Kahler Asten to the Kahler Asten (841.9 m ; km 49.3), on which the Astenturm (observation tower) is located and the Lenne spring (825 m) is located 400 meters to the west .
Then the trail leads from the Lenne spring south-southeast down from the Kahler Asten and crosses the Landwehr in the Asten area (approx. 780 m), which once served as a fortification, especially to protect the town of Winterberg. From there it turns on the ridge between the Lenne in the north-west and the Odeborn, which also rises on the Kahler Asten, in the south-east, past the Gerkenstein (792.7 m), on which there is a transmission tower and water reservoir , and leads through the villages of Lenneplätze (approx . 735 to 778 m), Neuastenberg (approx. 680 to 780 m), Langewiese (approx. 680 to 723 m) and Hoheleye (657.4 to 712.5 m; km 56.1) or partly past them.
The trail then reaches the Albrechtsplatz hikers' car park (729.0 m), from which it leads southwest over the Albrechtsberg (770.8 m). The Friedensquelle (740 m), which feeds the small Emmegraben as a Dödesbach tributary in the Odeborn catchment area , runs to the Heidenstock (752.2 m) southwest of the mountain , a former border marker. About 500 m southwest of it, the trail splits at a junction (752.0 m; km 60.0) into a mountain and valley variant:
The 9.6 km long mountain path crosses, after passing the Heidenstock , as part of the Rothaarsteig main path, a section of the WaldSkulpturenWeg , which partly runs along it. Initially, after passing the sculpture No easy game , it leads south-west past the northern Bad Berleburg hamlet Kühhude (697.2 m) and passes the Saukopf summit (716.3 m) almost 50 m to the east. Then it runs west to the suspension bridge at the source area of the Hochgelmker Siepen (680.5 m), which belongs to the catchment area of the Latrop , with the associated forest ecosystem nature trail , and then further south-west to and over the Großer Kopf (740.3 m). The mountain path then leads in a west-northwest direction past Großer (614.5 m) and Kleiner Bamicke (661.4 m), whose peaks are both a little north of the climb, to the forest path crossing (632.4 m; km 69.6) at the Millions Bank refuge , where it meets the valley path .
The 13.7 km long valley path , also known as the Hochsauerland variant, is the most important side path of the Rothaarsteig. Starting after the Heidenstock , it initially runs westwards past a soldier's grave (711.7 m) to the village of Schanze (680 to 733 m), an east-southeast part of Schmallenberg . Near the eastern edge of the village lies a little off the trail, one Cyril -Lehrpfad of, on the sculpture crook of the Forest Sculpture Trail begins. On the northeastern edge of the village the trail passes the cultural monument Access barrier (with parking at 715.9 m) as former Landwehr . Then it leads downhill and slightly southeast to the Schladebach (Grubensiepen) and then along this Latrop tributary mainly to the west to the cultural monument Altarstein , which is a former pagan sacrificial site a few meters east of a forest path crossing (536.2 m). Then it runs in the Grubental, in which the Grubensiepen flows, southwest past the natural monument Dicke Eiche (482.7 m) and then west to the village of Latrop in the Latrop valley (420 to 470 m; southeastern part of Schmallenberg). Then the valley path leads in a south-westerly direction upwards in the valley of the Lüttmeckesiepen and then, like the mountain path , south around the Große Bamicke (614.5 m) and Kleine Bamicke (661.4 m) to the forest path intersection (632.4 m; km 69.6) at the Million Bank refuge , where it meets the mountain path .
From the million bank the Rothaarsteig-Hauptweg leads further west to Jagdhaus (600 to 660 m; southern part of Schmallenberg) and over the southern flank of the local Heidkopf (665.9 m) with the natural monument Chapel Grove to the Trudes Sonnenbank refuge (663 m). Past the Somborn spring ( Sommborn ; 675 m), which is located on the southeast slope of the Härdler (756.3 m) and feeds the Gutmannsaatbach in the Eder catchment area, it runs south to the intersection of Potsdamer Platz (678.1 m), which is northwest below the summit of Sommborn ( Somborn ; 709.4 m) is located; the path leads over a 665.1 m high point. Then it runs southwest past the refuge on Margaretenstein (683.4 m) to the south-southwest flank of the Wildhöfer mountain (727.9 m), where Wigge ( Wiggesiepen ) lies above the source of the Hundem tributary next to a fork in the road (673.2 m) there is a viewing platform in the Gewann Wildhöfe . From there, heading southwards, it passes the Hohe Hessel (743.6 m) to the west and runs over the eastern flank of the Stengenberg (706.8 m). Then it crosses the state road 553 ( Oberhundem - Rüspe - Röspe ) and beyond it reaches the Rhein-Weser Tower (approx. 680 m; km 82.6), which is a lookout tower a little below a wooded knoll (684.6 m) the Westerberg (662.1 m) located a little away from the climb .
From the Rhine-Weser Tower of the path leads southwest to the source of Eder influx Röspe (mostly also Schwarzenbach called) and then along the creek, where he the most Westerberg and Eggenkopf located (647.3 m) Panorama Park Sauerland Wildlife Park about 250 m happened to the east. After crossing the stream it extends towards the southwest upward along the Schwarzenbach influx Habecker Bach to southern from its source junction (621.1 m) in the refuge in the resting place high heather , where the from from the direction Heinsberg to reach hikers parking Heinsberger Hochheideturm is located. There it bends to the southeast and leads between the Vogelsberg (642.6 m) in the north and Dreiherrnstein (673.9 m) in the south through the nature reserve Schwarzbachsystem with Haberg and Krenkeltal . It runs over the 637.9 m high ridge between the two elevations and between the valley of the Krenkelsbach ( Ruhr catchment area) with the Krenkelsbach aqueduct there in the west and that of the Kurzen Dörnbach ( Eder catchment area) in the east over the disused Heinsberg tunnel (1,303 m long); a point on the hiking trail almost exactly above the tunnel, the portals of which are quite far from the climb, is at a height of 636.5 m. In the south, the climb reaches the Dreiherrnstein (673.9 m; km 90.5); there is a boundary stone of the same name and a refuge.
The trail then runs to the Riemen (677.7 m) to cross its eastern flank around 150 m away from the summit to the south. Shortly afterwards it bends westwards to the valley of the Elberndorfer Bach (western Eder tributary). After crossing the brook (600.4 m) through a ford, it runs southwest, passing the cultural monument Oberndorfer Schlag (597.8 m; located on Landesstrasse 713 at the Oberndorfer Höhe hikers' car park ) to the south-east and on the northwest flank of the Wollberg (649 m ) running to the barbecue area (621.0 m) at the Helberhauser Schlag cultural monument (approx. 610 m); a few meters northwest of the crossroads there is the Ferndorfquelle (approx. 602 m). From now on, the path leads southwards over the Buchhelle (619.3 m) to the cultural monument Schlag Schrammer Heide (581.2 m) with the source of the Ferndorfbach tributary, the Wälderbach (approx. 575 m), and then on to the cultural monument Schanze ( approx. 606 m). A few meters southwest of it lies the Ginsberg farm with the origins of the source streams of the Kleiner Wähbach (Eder catchment area). From there the trail runs southwest to the forest path crossing (563.9 m) above the Schloßberg tunnel (270 m long) of the Kreuztal – Cölbe railway line at the ruins of the Ginsburg (587.6 m; km 98.2) to the west. which is circled by the federal highway 508 in a horseshoe shape.

Then it runs south past the mountain Pfaffenhain (658.2 m) and from its southeast flank south through Lützel (approx. 542 to 627 m). First the federal road 62 and the Kreuztal – Cölbe railway line (555.3 m) and then crossing the Lützelbach , the trail then leads down the stream to the east. From its mouth (approx. 519 m) into the Eder , it runs upstream, initially crossing the young river, to the south-southeast to the geographical center of the Siegen-Wittgenstein district ( 592.9 m ), where a boulder weighing around 8 tons with a metal plate and inscription stands. The trail then reaches the Ederquelle (approx. 621 m; km 107.9) near the Ederkopf (650.0 m ).
The trail then leads south-southeast to the former coal road ; A little southwest of the point where it meets this forest path (633.6 m), there is another Kyrilllehrpfad , from which you can walk on the Kohlenstraße to the Ederquelle hiker's car park on the nearby Eisenstraße of the Rothaargebirge (656.4 m; state road 722). However, the climb leads eastwards on the coal road to Benfe (550 to 590 m), a southern district of Erndtebrück , where it crosses the state road 720 and the Eder tributary Benfe (568 m). Then it runs south-east to Landesstraße 719, after which it crosses just past the western outskirts of Großenbach , a western district of Bad Laasphe . There the trail bends for a few hundred meters southwest to the Siegquelle (603 m), from which the Rhine tributary Sieg flows away . Then it runs, crossing the Eisenstraße (L 722) several times, southwards along the road to the Ilm source (approx. 623 m; Lahn tributary) and reaches it after crossing the gray grove (approx. 638 m) and passing the Lahnkopf (624 ) to the west , 9 m), in Lahnhof (part of the Nenkersdorf district of Netphener ) the Lahn spring ( Lahntopf ; 603 m; km 116.4).
The trail then heads east - past the Jagdberg (675.9 m) to the north and past Heiligenborn to the south - to the Ilsequelle (608.2 m) in North Rhine-Westphalia below the Kompass mountain (694.1 m). Then it runs southwest to the border with the neighboring state of Hesse , where it again passes the Jagdberg to the north on the coal road . From then on, it leads southwest along this border, passes the Herrenberg summit (624.2 m) and, among other things, passes the natural monument Kaffeebuche (580 m) near the path to Hainchen an der Haincher Höhe (605.9 m) in Hesse Dill spring (approx. 567 m). Then the trail leads over the Gernsbacher Höhe (540.6 m) and shortly before the Tiefenrother Höhe (552.3 m), which is also on the border, past the nose in the wind viewing platform near the summit , from which the view of the Siegerland falls . Then he reaches Wilgersdorf , a district of Wilnsdorf .
Then the trail - passing the eastern foothills of the North Rhine-Westphalian cold ponds (579.3 m; km 134.5) - finally reaches Hesse. There it leads downhill in a south-easterly direction past the natural monument Lucaseiche (approx. 445 m) and Forsthaus Steinbach (approx. 390 m) to Rodenbach (305 to 340 m), which is the northern part of Haiger an der Dill. Then it runs eastwards to Manderbach (300 to 385 m), a north-north-west part of Dillenburg , and south to Galgenberg-Löhren , a north-west location in Dillenburg, over the Dillenburg Galgenberg (301.8 m). The trail used to lead uphill after crossing the Dill to the Wilhelmsturm (approx. 260 m; previously at km 152.4) and from this Dillenburg landmark back down to the city center. For several years it has not crossed the river in the city and no longer leads past the Wilhelmsturm, but on a more attractive route past the Bismarck temple (approx. 300 m), a small pavilion with a view of Dillenburg and its tower. From the temple it runs downhill to end after crossing the river again and passing the former court garden , which was first mentioned in 1489, and again crossing the river at Dillenburg station (approx. 235 m; km 156.8).

It branches off in the area of the Kalteiche to the south-south-west, leads over to the Hohen Westerwald and from there north-east to Dillenburg. It also runs over mountains and, for example, past springs and natural and cultural monuments. This includes from Brilon - with height in meters (m) above sea level (unless otherwise stated according to /) and partly also with route kilometers (km; unless otherwise stated according to):
The Westerwald variant leads from the area of Kalteiche (579.3 m) and Hirschstein (562.9 m) in a south-southwest direction through Würgendorf in the valley of the Sieg tributary Heller to the Großer Stein nature reserve on the mountain ridge Die Höh (598.0 m) (546.0 m; km 12.6) and past the Niederdresselnorf clay pit (560 m) to the Ketzerstein natural monument (610 m).
