Hiking trail of the year 2018 to 2020:

The Hilchenbach Höhenring is a beautiful circular route of about 24 km in length and is excellently suited as a day hike.

Along the entire ridgeway, the hiker is offered magnificent panoramas and rustic landscapes, complemented by beautiful resting places and refreshment options. A visit to the nearby Gillerturm (654 m above sea level) and the historic Ginsburg is always worthwhile.

The hike does not necessarily have to be planned as a day route. A variety of access paths offer the possibility to shorten the hike and return early to Hilchenbach.

Due to the beautiful route, its versatility, and the possibility of combination with the Rothaarsteig, the Sauerländischer Gebirgsverein selected the Hilchenbach Höhenring as the hiking trail of the years 2018 to 2020.
