Köhlerpfad

With the help of numerous information boards, you will learn about the history of the Wagener charcoal burner family, the structure and function of a charcoal pile, the Hauberg, and the history of charcoal. The tools of the charcoal burner and technical terms from charcoal burning are also clearly explained.

The start and end of this circular hike is the Nature Park hiking car park "Köhlerplatz" on the L719 above Walpersdorf. It leads past a charcoal pile site into the Sieg valley, further into a side valley, and to another charcoal burner’s site with a hut. Passing the edge of Walpersdorf, it goes through the forest back to the starting point.

The Köhlerpfad is marked with the symbol A1. At some intersections, wooden signposts also show you the way. The Köhler quiz provides entertainment during the route. It is available directly at the first information board of the Köhlerpfad. The path is suitable for children from 6 years old. Due to the natural path conditions, an all-terrain stroller is recommended.
