Klippenweg Olsberg

Highlight • Trail

On the cliff path uphill to the Olsberg summit, the stones are smaller than those in Bruchhausen, but they also bear witness to the geological past. In any case, a nice walk along the cliffs.

You can enjoy a real summit feeling on the 704 meter high Olsberg with its summit cross. From here you have a fantastic view of Bigge, Olsberg and the surrounding Rothaargebirge. You can also discover the Bruchhauser stones. You can relax on various benches and a relaxation panorama lounger after the challenging climb over the cliff path.

Goldstein (Bruchhauser Stones)

Highlight • Natural Monument

I was happy to pay the obolus at the entrance to the stones. The area is clean and in the refuge below the stones you can take a break in bad and of course good weather. It's worth parking at the information desk and following one of the themed trails.

Bornstein (Bruchhauser Steine)

The Bruchhauser Stones are freely accessible at all times from all of the surrounding hiking trails. Entrance is only to be paid if you come through the main entrance. In good weather you have a wonderful view here.

View of the Bruchhauser Steine

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Bruchhausen you have a great view of the Bruchhauser Steine. The huge stones are made of so-called quartz porphyry (rhyolite), while the surrounding bedrock consists of soft clay slate. You can climb some of the stone giants. Just take a little time and explore the area.

The hike can be finished in one of the cafés at the Kneipppark in Olsberg or, if your feet have run too hot 🔥, with one of the many Kneipp offers (free in the Kneipp ErlebnisPark Olsberg) directly by the water.

Different than planned but still beautiful.
The hike started at 5.30 a.m. to see the sunrise on the Olsberg summit. When we got to the top, we quickly noticed that the trees to the east were blocking the view, so we tried to find a suitable spot and quickly noticed that the sun was rising behind the clouds today. Not …

November 12, 2022,Wanderung Bruchhausersteine zum Olsberg und zurück

Hello everyone, Yesterday we took a day off and wanted to explore a different area. What can I say Mum picked out a great tour. First parked at the tourist center near the Bruchhausersteinen and gladly paid the entrance fee, because this also protects and maintains the area. From there but not to the stones but first hiked down the …
