Directions

The starting point of the hike is the SGV square in Amecke, opposite the church. Parking is available at the fire station or on the Airlebnisweg (subject to a charge). The continuous marking is Am2. First follow the road 'Im Kaltenborn' uphill and then turn right at the edge of the forest. After 1.5 km along the foot of the Kamberg you reach the natural monument 'Krause Eiche', a really quaint, old, tousled oak tree. Benches invite you to take your first rest here. The route continues up to the Höhweg, where you also meet the Sauerland-Waldroute. Up here, on the heights between Sundern and Sorpesee, you can see the effects of Hurricane Kyrill in 2007 in a particularly impressive way. If you look back, you will have a great view of the Sauerland Siebengebirge around Stockum. After just under 2 km, you leave the Waldroute again and the path now turns left and downhill onto the middle slope of the Sorpetalsperre dam. Here you keep left again and take a leisurely turn, always with a view of the Sorpesee, back to Amecke. The last two kilometers of the hiking route run directly along the Sorpesee and the new "Airlebnisweg" along the reservoir.

Equipment

Sturdy shoes, rucksack provisions and hiking poles are an advantage

Author Tip

Refreshments: Heimathafen Amecke, open daily
You can also enjoy the "Airlebnisweg" at the reservoir, a wonderful place to relax.
