Public transport route: On the Rothaarsteig from Vormwald to Feudingen

If you arrive by car, we recommend parking it at the beginning in Feudingen and taking the train to the starting point in Vormwald. 

The hike starts at Vormwald station. If you are already thirsty here, you will find a nice beer garden at the station building. Via path X3, you reach the Rothaarsteig from the station. Once at the top, the Ginsburg awaits you. The Rothaarsteig was officially opened here on 05.06.2001. For a donation, the tower of the Ginsburg is freely accessible. At the top, you then enjoy a 360-degree view. There is also the possibility to refresh yourself at the Ginsburg. The next tower is not far. Further along the Rothaarsteig, you now reach the Gillerberg tower. The 15-meter-high tower with its open structure is somewhat adventurous and rather for those not afraid of heights. Next, the route leads towards Lützel. After a few kilometers, you descend via a meadow path into the village. After crossing the road, you are soon back in green surroundings, where a footbridge and a welcome cooling await you. In the next kilometers to the Eder spring, a beautifully situated bridge ideal for a photo awaits you. Arriving at the Eder spring, you are simultaneously in a raised bog.

Near the historic Eisenstraße, the path continues to Benfe. The next spring - the Sieg spring - is now very close. A steep climb leads up over the hilltop to Großenbach. The Benfe valley greets you here in summer with blueberries and a splendor of foxgloves. Although the Sieg spring is not directly on the route, the short detour of 600 meters back and forth is worthwhile. A small path leads you to the namesake of Siegerland, which flows into the Rhine after 155 kilometers.

From the junction in Großenbach, follow the Rothaarsteig access path (yellow lying R) towards Feudingen-North. First, you go downhill past a church with a pointed roof and a seating area into the village of Volkholz. A short break is worthwhile here because shortly before the end awaits the steepest climb of the route, at the top of which you are rewarded with a panoramic view. Passing the wildlife enclosure, you now reach Feudingen. For a cozy end to the route, the Hotel im Auerbachtal or the Romantik Landhotel Doerr await you here.
