The Rahrbach Poetry Trail invites you to contemplate, be inspired and encounter nature.

The Rahrbach Poetry Trail invites you to take an approximately 8 km long circular tour through the enchanting forest scenery of the Sauerland. This hike is characterized by the tranquil atmosphere, which offers the opportunity to be inspired by short poems at six stations. These words invite you to pause, reflect and experience nature in all its splendor.

The tour offers light-flooded beech forests and open meadow landscapes, which provide sweeping views over the surrounding mountains and valleys.

The Places to linger include "Attunement", "Paths of the Cross", "Passing & Emergence", "Rings of Life", "Arrival" and "Encouragement". In addition to poetic texts, these stations provide information about nature and forest management and encourage a conscious experience of nature.

Information about the rescue signs

Most hiking trails run away from villages and settlements and every hiker has thought about what would happen if an emergency were to occur. How can I be found here? Where am I anyway? Can the emergency services reach me?

In an emergency, things have to move quickly! That's why the hiking trail network in the Lennestadt & Kirchhundem region is equipped with so-called rescue signs throughout. The green and white badges attached to the posts of the signposts have a number that you must give when making an emergency call. This way, the emergency services know exactly where you are and valuable time can be saved.
