A very nice tour, actually, scenically and culturally, including the urban part of Lindlar. One star deducted because of the detour away from the hiking trails, the blackberry area is not accessible 😉
It's better to stick to the very good trail markings!

The spice lies in brevity, as the Steinhauer path proves impressively. Just 6 km long and yet packed with everything you need.

Interesting facts on the boards, attractive paths, historical places, beautiful views and all of this experienced in just under 90 minutes.

A wonderful trail, especially the part through the forest, but you need mud-resistant, sturdy shoes! Start and finish at Lindlar market square.

A very interesting path with many insights into the life of the stone cutters who mined the greywacke around Lindlar. Previously by hand, today as a stone mechanic with machines.
There used to be around 20 quarries here, today there are still three companies in which the greywacke is mined. It was used, for example, to build the Altenberg Cathedral, …
