A particularly beautiful route that offers not only great views but also various experience points.

From the train station in Dillenburg, the path to the main Rothaarsteig trail is signposted. From Hofgarten, follow the Westerwald variant of the Rothaarsteig. On your way out of Dillenburg, you first pass the Waat-Tret installation, inviting you to experience different surfaces with bare feet. Only about 1.5 kilometers further, you encounter the CO2 experience trail, which makes the connections between climate change, CO2, forest, and wood use interactively tangible. On your further way, you hike over the Kornberg near Donsbach, which offers a particularly extensive and beautiful view. A Rothaarsteig forest swing invites you to relax. Refreshed, you continue on the main trail, which you leave after the waypoint "Stangenwaage." Via the yellow-marked Rothaarsteig access path Haiger-South, you walk past the Eduard Tower to the train station in Haiger.
