On narrow stealth paths and wonderful game trails, you go through the adventurous terrain on the banks of the Sieg. Along with field and meadow paths offering beautiful views over the rural idyll – combined with the activity stations, a perfect excursion for young and old. The 4.7 km path is somewhat more demanding in places; it goes over roots and stones and involves a few moderate ascents and descents. Therefore, the path is more suitable for slightly older children who like to hike and romp around. It is not passable with a stroller. On the narrow paths above the Sieg, it can become slippery when it rains – a little caution is necessary!

Directions
The varied route leads from the parking lot at the campsite first into the dense forest and down narrow paths to the rushing Osenbach. From here, the path winds on a meadow trail up to the Steckensteiner Kopf. There you can enjoy a fantastic panorama over the Sieg valley. The sun sparkles through the canopy of leaves, below the blue ribbon of the Sieg borders the green-covered valley. Along a narrow game trail on a blackberry-covered slope, you then continue the path to the road. After a short stretch along the traffic connection flanked by open areas of former spruce stands, the Robber's Path swings back into the forest. It continues on winding paths over roots and stones. Especially in wet weather, sure footing is required here. Along the steep slope at the Sieg, you cross a wooden bridge before you encounter the Osenbach again with its refreshing babble after a clearing with an original half-timbered house. In the cozy brook valley, you will find a nice spot for a rest with a picnic. Afterwards, you return on an adventurous path to the campsite – don’t forget to take your Robber’s Diploma from there.
