View of the Sieg

Highlight • Viewpoint

After a steep ascent you will be rewarded with a fantastically beautiful view of the Sieg. Not far away there is also a sun lounger to relax and linger.

Warning Bell on Räuberweg

Highlight • Monument

This bell was used to warn fellow robbers. It hangs quite high on the tree. Why? Answer?

Meadow Path Below Steckensteiner Kopf

Highlight • Trail

After the bell on the top of the mountain, which is a gimmick on the robbers' path, you return to the valley via this beautiful path.

Very nice path below the Steckensteiner head! The adventure trail from Natursteig Sieg -Räuberweg- also leads along there :)

December 26, 2024,Schmale Wege auf und ab: Der Räuberpfad in Mittelhof

It was great at the "family airing" on the second day of Christmas! The Robber's Trail is highly recommended, but really not for small children (under 5), strollers, walkers or unsuitable shoes. It goes up and down on wide paths, briefly along the road, but above all on paths including some steep descents (this time very muddy, slippery and slick …

Carrot and stick!

Easy hike, easy paths, no special skills required...that's what it said in the description! So it goes up and down quite a bit with steep slopes, I had to be careful where I stepped as it was mostly very uneven and rooty! You should be sure-footed!

The hike really exhausted me!

Highly Recommended!

Sturdy shoes and long trousers are a must on this trail. 90% of the terrain is mixed. The trail is recommended for children who are good walkers and like a bit of action.

I had chosen the CP Im Eichenwald because of its proximity to the hiking trails. There are beautiful themed hikes of various lengths and levels of difficulty. E.g. the robber path. Unfortunately, signs and route markings were very meager, so that I wasn't the only one who wandered around without much guidance at first. Komoot found something else nice for …

Small round that should not be underestimated. (Especially in the heat today)
With the nature, steepness, incline and poor passability of some sections, I completely lack the understanding of how to advertise the tour for children.
Even with the campers who started out with flip-flops, one can only say "because they don't know what they are doing".
But please don't …
