Narrow trail with striking rock formations

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great way through steep, rocky terrain. Please don't underestimate it. A slip is particularly dangerous in wet conditions because there is usually no safety device.

June 29, 2023, Narrow Trail with Striking Rock Formations

An almost alpine route has to be completed here. You need surefootedness and will be rewarded with a magnificent view and a beautiful path

The path follows over many stones, partly with bat markings, partly with red paint on the rock. Sure-footedness is required, sticks are an advantage - otherwise great flair with an almost alpine character on the Wittgensteiner Schieferpfad.

Wandering the Rothaarsteig... Day 3: We start in Schanze, and with a lot of luck, we don't get lost. Without a hiking map, we rely solely on Komoot, crossing the 'Roof of the Sauerland' and through the 'Land of a Thousand Hills and Valleys'. We explore the Schanze Forest Reserve primarily on wide forest paths and along deeply carved streams. 'Denkmal Altarstein' (Altarstone Memorial) is an idyllic spot with a stone column where you can relax in its shade. In the shade, you can 'contemplate' all sorts of things... Crazy, isn't it? We respectfully greet the old 'Fat Oak' a little further on. It's a landmark, and in our experience, it keeps us on the right path to continue our ascent of the Rothaarsteig. A charming, playful suspension bridge is a highlight in itself. Bridges connect landscapes. This 'suspension bridge' primarily connects people. It's the weekend, and the attraction is undeniable. Young and old, everyone wants to be quick. The crowd barometer goes into the red, and like a hare, we stampede along a narrow, deserted forest path to the summit of the Saukopf – 750 meters high. Once we reach the top, it looks like the finish line of some mountain stage. Cycling enthusiasts, suffering from excessive dehydration (breakouts in sweat), are nevertheless proud to have climbed the summit in record time. We let the "recreational sports heroes" of the day enjoy their slim figure and meager success. Without disturbing their success story, we leisurely stroll along the edge of the forest to the "Wittgensteiner Panoramaweg." There, we hoped to catch a glimpse of the bison that make their habitat here. Unfortunately, the passing cycling peloton has disturbed the bison's habitat, and they don't respond. Six forest sculptures provide some solace and distraction on our way back to Schanze. To conclude our hike, we meander along the Kyrill Trail. A battlefield of trees felled by the force of Hurricane Kyrill (January 18, 2007) gives us pause for thought. We were lucky in Schanze; we didn't get lost or blown over. And the setting sun on the Rothaar makes our hair turn a little red.

Absolutely awesome section of the trail. Here comes an alpine feeling and it's really fun. Here you should only walk with good shoes and be sure-footed. Since there are no security options, the path is not without danger.

Extremely challenging hiking section. You have to be very careful where you go and pay attention to the signs. The path is sometimes very stony and uneven. Good step resistance is urgently required!
