    Eine Treppe, die vom Kurpark hinunter in den Wald führt.

Wichtig für dein Abenteuer beim Wandern im Helletal: Die Pfade sind anspruchsvoll. Du brauchst unbedingt festes Schuhwerk und Trittsicherheit. 

Erlebe ein echtes Naturwunder! Vom Trubel am Kurpark wanderst du auf dem Rothaarsteig steil hinab ins Helletal. Dich erwartet eine wilde Mittelgebirgsklamm im Rothaargebirge, die mit schroffen Felsklippen und uralten Schluchtwäldern an die Alpen erinnert.

Entdecke auf dem Schluchten- und Brückenpfad die bizarre Schönheit dieses Kerbtals. Lass dich vom Rauschen der Wasserfälle begleiten und tauche tief in die Geologie ein: Bestaune 390 Millionen Jahre alte Gesteine, eine markante Knickschieferung und historische Bohrlöcher vom Wegebau.

Genieße die unberührte Romantik der Helletalschlucht!
