The rangers of the Landesbetrieb Wald und Holz NRW on the Rothaarsteig

Named after their colleagues from the national parks in the USA, the rangers of the Landesbetrieb Wald und Holz NRW look after the well-being of nature on the Rothaarsteig. They ensure compliance with the regulations for the protection of the forest, its animals and plants and maintain the paths and facilities along the "Trail of the Senses".

The six rangers have divided the Rothaarsteig into several sections. This means that each ranger knows "their" Rothaarsteig section like the back of their hand and can provide hikers with expert advice and assistance! So if you meet a ranger on your Rothaarsteig hike, feel free to speak to them!
