Challenging hike with great views over the Sauerland and the villages of the "Old Testament" as well as some interesting historical points. Slight variation of the original route marked with OT.
Author’s recommendation
Opportunity to stop for a meal at the end of the route at the Gasthof zur Post in Hellefeld. Known for the Sauerland-typical beef sausage!
