Rothaarsteig trail Ilsetalpfad

Nature offers us the most beautiful moments.

The Rothaarsteig trail "Ilsetalpfad" has some of these to offer. They line up like pearls on a string. Wide views over the surrounding mountainous region, panoramic views guaranteed at several points. Wildly romantic valley passages on enchanted paths, embedded by massive pristine rock formations, which make the path appear mystical at times. Accompanied by the happily babbling Ilse or the Weidelbach. Following this leads to the shore of the Weidelbacher Weiher, whose sight makes everyone pause. Quite unexpectedly, it welcomes you in the middle of the forest with heavenly silence, its water lily splendor in summer, and countless great impressions from every angle. Those who can part ways quickly reach the historic shelter at the Bettelsmannsbuche. Before that, another landscape highlight is traversed, the passage through a so-called sunken lane. Afterwards, it continues varied over forest roads and paths along the slope of the young Lahn, the view becomes more open and extends far over the Lahn valley. But a view nearby is also worthwhile, as a large bison enclosure is passed in Dernbach and, with a bit of luck, the impressive animals stand very close to the fence.
