Directions
Follow the hiking sign Esloher Grenzgänger. For this, cross the street at the hiking car park through the forest to Hoppen-Kreuz. From here, turn left downhill through the Buchwald forest to the street, which you follow along Schloss Obersalwey to the village. In the village, go right past the chapel through the Romke valley, always uphill to Fretterspring.
Enjoy the magnificent view on the hiking path above the Bat Tunnel to the Galle, where the road connects the two villages of Kückelheim and Serkenrode. The path now leads uphill with a view of the small village Dormecke and the Rothaar Mountains in the distance. Shortly after reaching the Buchenhagen hiking car park, you hike left on the C3 through Obermarpe further up to the Stertberg and then down to the Stertschultenhof.

Please wear sturdy footwear and bring sufficient provisions and drinks.
