Information
Directions
From the Eversberg local history museum, we first walk to the market square with the old town hall. Here we turn left and walk down Marktstraße into the Luchtmücketal valley. Passing under the highway bridge (A 46), we reach the Eversberg - Wehrstapel road (K 45) after approx. 500 m. In the center of Wehrstapel, we first walk along Wehrstapeler Straße in the direction of Meschede. At the church, we cross the main road and turn left into the street "Zum Romberg".Climbing steadily, after approx. 1.7 km we reach the edge of the forest and a road below the "Kerstein". Here we turn right and go around this mountain in a slight curve for approx. 2 km until we reach a stream. After another 100 m, we cross the stream and walk uphill on its right-hand side past the source area until we reach a fork in the path at an altitude of approx. 530 m. Here we follow the forest path, which leads to a sharp fork to the right and walk about 2 km westwards below the "Vogelsang" (595 m above sea level) - Meschede's local mountain - to the forest chapel "Am Grenserich". From this path, as well as from the Grenserich chapel, you have a wonderful view of the Ruhrtal, the town of Meschede and also of the Hennesee, where you can enjoy many water sports.From the chapel, we walk downhill in several changes of direction into the valley of the Kleine Henne and, after crossing the Meschede - Schederberge road and walking through the "Sündelt", reach the district of Löttmaringhausen. In the center of the village, we first follow the road (K 43) to the right and after 150 m turn left again onto the hiking trail, which leads us uphill to the small district of Kehren. At a field barn, we turn right onto the field path and reach the Meschede - Remblinghausen/Westernbödefeld road (L 740) after about 1000 m. Take care when crossing this busy road!We then walk first to the right and after about 200 m left uphill to the district of Vellinghausen. There are various places to stop for refreshments here and in the neighboring district of Remblinghausen (approx. 2 km away). From Vellinghausen, we walk in a southerly direction to a farming community in the Horbach valley. We turn right along the road for about 500 m until we reach a hill and then walk through the fields to the district of Nichtinghausen in the southern part of the Hennesee area. After crossing the main road (B 55), we follow the road once again to today's destination, the district of Erflinghausen.
