Hiking in Burbach

The German section of the European long-distance hiking trail E1 runs well signposted once across Germany – from Flensburg in the north to Konstanz in the south.

The Trödelstein path leads from Buchhellertal valley to the “Trödelsteine” rocks. Along the way, you experience the special features of the basalt-like natural landscape between the Rothaargebirge and Westerwald regions.

On the Rothaarsteig we cross the Sauerland, the Wittgensteiner Bergland and the Siegerland to the Dill-Bergland on the „Weg der Sinne”. 160 km take us from Brilon in the Hochsauerland to Dillenburg at the foot of the Westerwald.

“Poetry and nature” - in the romantic Hickengrund region you can meet Goethe, Schiller or Novalis, who accompany you with their words along the wonderful route that crosses three federal state boundaries.

A touch of the Luneburg Heath – in the Gambach near Burbach visitors can admire the last big juniper heath in the District of Siegen-Wittgenstein.

Hiking up through the valleys of the Winterbach and Weierbach streams, you reach the basalt plateau of the Westerwald forest.

Die Westerwaldvariante führt in einer Schleife durch die reizvolle Landschaft des Westerwaldes und bietet eine besonders schöne Wegeführung mit herrlichen Weitsichten. Es handelt sich um eine leichte bis mittlere Tour mit mäßigen Anstiegen.

The Siegerland-Höhenring, which is around 140 km long, runs through the peripheral mountains that surround the Siegerland. The hiking trail leads us partly through the Rothaargebirge Nature Park and via the Rothaarsteig. On a hike in the north we learn about the town of Hilchenbach and the famous Ginsburg. From there we have wonderful views over the entire low mountain range landscape with its extensive forests.

Glowing lava and angry giants – the basalt stone river "Großer Stein" (Big Stone) looks back on an eventful past.

Meadows bursting with life – not only a perfect habitat for grassland birds and butterflies but also for the rare Globeflower and Monkshood.
