Hiking

Narrow and very beautiful path between the railway line and Sieg. It is called the Philosopher's Path, but it is also part of the official route of the Natursteig Sieg.

"... If you want to follow in the footsteps of thinkers, we recommend the Philosophenweg. The narrow path, which leads from the street "Auf der Hardt" along the Sieg to neighboring Röcklingen, owes its name to the "philosophical discourse ", which the former Rector Kühne maintained here with colleagues and students from the Bodelschwingh Gymnasium. Part of the way leads past the railway line.
Today, the Philosophenweg is also part of the Sieg natural trail (stage 7) ..."
