From Zinse, it is not far to the entry point onto the Rothaarsteig. Even this short route offers a wonderful insight into the landscape of the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park.

The small, cozy village of Zinse is the starting point of our hike. Even here we find ourselves surrounded by a beautiful landscape. We first walk along the street through the village before continuing our path through the forest. On our right side, we are accompanied by the Mittel stream in this section. Not far after entering the forest, we pass the hiking parking lot Zinse, from which this route can also be started. Through the wooded area, it goes steadily uphill to the Dreiherrnstein.
