Bridge across the Felsenmeer (Hemer)

Highlight • Bridge

Incredibly beautiful geotope. The rock formations are quite impressive. On the one hand, you can marvel at it through a viewing platform, and on the other hand, through a footbridge …

View of Deilinghofen and Sundwig

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not only a nice view but also a good place for a tour start. Even before the barrier, you can park your vehicle on the side of the road.

A beautiful loop in bright sunshine. 🌞 The start and finish was the Felsenmeer (Sea of Rocks) in Hemer.

April 11, 2023,Steine gucken und mehr - in Hemer

The Felsenmeer is indisputably beautiful. You should really linger there and walk a few paths, also away from the bridge and viewing platform.
You really have to want the rest of the way.
The two mountains are challenging. The winding path makes it a little easier. You'll definitely be happy when it's going downhill again.
Otherwise nice to go.
Maybe …

October 6, 2024,⛰️ Hemer "Felsenmeer" und über Ispei 🌲

So today we went to Hemer with 3 ladies, where we first looked at the sea of rocks, then we completed a circular route with a lot of elevation gain, there were always great views of the surrounding mountain landscape ⛰️ to see. We came via Ispei and then took the Hexenstich (which is quite a challenge) and then climbed …

September 25, 2022,Waldroutensage - Runde um Hemer/Deilinghofen ⛰️🌲🌞

I was once again driven to the Sauerland to actually see the Felsenmeer. I'll anticipate it... That was the least exciting thing of all. ☺️ The Sauerland forest route path is awesome. The meters in altitude are quite high, although the first climb is quite long and flat. Good to deal with. The second to Brockhausen is up 🤢🤮🥵. So …

July 22, 2023,Hemer Felsenmeer - Runde Sundwig, Deilinghofen, Ispei

The tour is very easy to walk, little road, good hiking trails.
We parked in the free parking lot at Felsenmeer. First through the sea of rocks, then after a short stretch of road we hiked up and down through nature. We will definitely repeat the tour at some point.

April 9, 2023,Tolle Wanderrunde 😎🥾⛰️ - Felsenmeer - Deilinghofen - Hemer

Yesterday's hike was very demanding. There are two steep inclines. For us it was extreme. But we have reached them. 😅

Lots of distant views of Hemer, Iserlohn, Deilinghofen and two power plants located in Uentrop (near Hamm).

The weather was great! 👍🏼😎☀️

April 22, 2022,Im Felsenmeer – Waldroutensage Kapitel 3 Runde von Deilinghofen

Unfortunately, the beautiful forest paths have fallen to various storms, the drought, the bark beetle community and the final clearing to the opera: 75% lunar landscape, 5% intact forest, 10% successful reforestation and 10% asphalt roads in the city area. Maybe refreshing again in 10 years, currently very sobering and tiring ...
