Grönebach /

The hiking trail is named after the place in Sauerland dialect – Grönebach equals Groimecke. We can expect a very beautiful route on mostly easy-to-walk, mostly natural paths. Sections in the forest alternate with those over open areas and panoramic trails with wonderful views. We walk a section on the Rothaarsteig, a recently established hiking trail. We also walk on historic roads.
