The local hiking trail F7 leads us around the village of Rückershausen with its wonderful ski area, the mountain ridges Birkenhecke (height 659 m) and Weibelskopf (height 620 m).
Start and finish is the hiking car park at the ski cabin in Rückershausen.
Here is the ski area of SC Rückershausen with the unique winter sports facility in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district, consisting of three ski jumps, a natural ski jump, a mat jump, and a small jumping facility. The F7 leads us over the heights on a natural path towards Birkenhecke (height 659 m).
Further along the F7 we hike to Kreuzgrube (height 620 m). The nearby bench offers a magnificent view of the surrounding villages. Now it goes downhill to the Augustenhof forestry house with its Galloway cattle. The F7 then continues towards Weide, passing the nature reserves Eltershausen and Jägerwiese, back to Rückershausen and the end point, the hiking car park at the ski cabin Rückershausen.
Traditionally, a stop at the ski cabin on May 1st as well as for the setting up of the Pentecost tree is worthwhile.
Length of the F7 hiking trail: 10 km.
