The SportScheck hiking day 2025 on the Rothaarsteig - long tour
- approx. 7:30 am departure from Dortmund (exact time and location to be announced)
- 09:00 a.m. Arrival in Schmallenberg-Latrop - small refreshment and toilet break
- 10:00 am Start of the hiking tour
After a small refreshment we start our hike at the village garden in Schmallenberg-Latrop. From there, we take the valley variant of the Rothaarsteig via a path up to the ridge of the Rothaargebirge. At the Millionenback we meet the ridge variant of the Rothaarsteig and have already covered most of the altitude for today. Shortly before reaching Jagdhaus, we make a detour to the Wisent hut. A hearty hiking snack provides an opportunity for refreshment (tip: the bison hut is the starting point for a visit to the bison world on the Rothaarsteig. We won't be experiencing this today, but the next trip to the Rothaarsteig is sure to come...). After refreshments, we return to the Rothaarsteig. The Somborn spring is a nice place for a rest and refreshment. The route continues via the Margaretenstein and the old post road to the Rhein-Weser-Turm, the destination of today's tour. The day's hiking ends in the hiking restaurant in the tower.
