Description

Your endurance is required here: circular tour and longest stage of the Sieg nature trail with moderate gradients and idyllic stream valleys. You hike on field, forest and meadow paths - numerous panoramic views offer nice variety.

Parking

P+R parking lot directly at the train station Wissen

Directions

Like the final section of the previous stage, the access path leads back to the main path high above Wissen. A still young and sparse forest accompanies the path to the left and right of the hill, which is often covered in deep snow in winter. Nearby is the Hagdorn farm with a playground and game reserve. Down into the valley of the Wisserbach, which on some days runs its course with a strong rush. The hill above the Lauberbach offers a beautiful view of Birken-Honigsessen, which you will walk through a short time later. The Catholic is beautiful. Parish church of St. Elisabeth, which is considered to be the first tent roof church in Germany. Through a narrow valley corridor down to the quiet valley of the Wipperbach, up to Nochen and steeply down again into the valley where the Wipperbach and Brölbach join. One last climb up the Kucksberg and then down to Wissen via a path that repeatedly opens up views of the Sieg before you reach the bottom of the valley and the yellow-marked access path to the train station.
