On the A3 circular hiking trail, hikers discover the special nature at the foot of the Ebbegebirge. The trail initially leads slowly but steadily up the mountain, where the Grundlose, the headwaters of the Lister, is reached. Further up, now at an altitude of almost 600 meters, the hiking trail now leads visitors slowly back towards the starting point on a kind of small Kammweg, with some great views. The trail now also leads through the "Ebbemoore" nature reserve and you hike through a natural and pristine forest area before crossing fields, meadows and settlements back to the hiking parking lot,
Information
Directions
Starting at the Stoltenberg hiking parking lot, we follow the marked path, which climbs steadily towards Grundlose - the source of the Lister. We now find the swampy head waters on the left, with the path continuing to ascend and running largely parallel to them. "Once we reach the top, we find a small refuge where we can take a short break.Our circular hiking trail now bends diagonally to the right and leads us along a beautiful little ridge-like path through the local woods. After a few hundred meters, there is a beautiful view of the nearby Nordhelle on the left, through the still relatively young conifers.The path continues through the forest and now drops gently down the slope on the left. The natural part of the trail now begins. To the left and right of our route, we can marvel at the special nature before we now walk along the edge of the forest and along a field path with high grass cover in the direction of Hohenhengstenberg.After reaching the first house, we keep right again on the small road and follow it downhill towards Niederhengstenberg. Here we "cross" the local farm and follow the path that climbs again, mostly along the edge of the forest, back towards the hikers' parking lot.
Equipment
Festes Wanderschuhwerk wird empfohlen. Für ein gemütliches Picknick unterwegs sollte etwas Verpflegung mitgeführt werden, das es keine Einkehrmöglichkeit unterwegs gibt.
Safty guidelines
The near-natural route of the circular hiking trail in the foothills of the Ebbemoore allows hikers to walk through higher meadows and sometimes climb over fallen trees.First aid: In an emergency, call the emergency number 112 and quote the rescue point number. Rescue points are marked access points in the forest for rescue vehicles. If the nearest rescue point is not known, your location can be called up directly via AML (Advanced Mobile Location) during the emergency call.
