Wonderful views and easily manageable forest paths characterize this circular hike. Along the way, there are repeatedly audio stations that are part of the audio trails on the Rothaarsteig and provide us with interesting information about the region. In the first half of the route, we always have the Winterbach by our side. We can start directly at the hiking car park and follow the course of the stream, which leads us through the beautiful Weiher and Winterbach nature reserve, to the Dreiländereck. Not far from there is also the southernmost point of Westphalia. Afterwards, the route leads back through some forest sections and across fields to the car park. On the way back, we pass the Höppches Hain viewpoint, inviting us to rest with a wonderful view.
