Forest-rich and nature-close circular route to the Ziegenhelle viewpoint
For summit climbers, the scenic bike route is perfect. Past the Kahlen Asten, the path first leads to the idyllic forest village of Mollseifen. The small village is nestled in pristine nature. Breathe in the spicy scent of the forest – pure wellness!
Through the magnificent high forests near Züschen, the route continues to the Ziegenhelle. On one of the highest peaks of the Rothaar Mountains, a wild romantic landscape unfolds. The Ziegenhelle tower rises high above the treetops: Those who climb it enjoy a fantastic 360-degree panorama over the forested heights of the Rothaar Mountains. The view extends far into the Medebach Bay and from the Kahlen Asten to the Eder valley.
In the spa town of Züschen and the quaint village center, half-timbered and slate houses can be admired. Several inns are recommended for a well-deserved break. Refreshed, you'll head back on the last few kilometers along the former railway track to Winterberg.
Author’s recommendation
The small detour to the Ziegenhelle tower is definitely worth it!
