The third stage of the Olsberg Kneipp Hiking Trail is a scenic loop hike leading up to the 729-meter-high Ohlenberg. Starting at the reservoir, the route initially follows quiet trails before a scenic path ascends toward Helmeringhausen, offering the first sweeping views of the young Ruhrtal. Around Schmalenberg and Wiedegge, the Sauerland reveals its natural side: forested stretches, open vistas, and the constant alternation between ascents and rest periods define the character of this stage. A small sign marks the path to the summit cross, where the Ohlenberg, as the tour’s destination, reveals its special charm. On the way back, a typical feature of the Kneipp Hiking Trail awaits: the footbath at the Voßbach. Here, you can refresh your feet according to Kneipp’s teachings before the loop leads back via Helmeringhausen. The Ohlenberg Tour combines exercise, nature experiences, and the soothing Kneipp tradition into a varied hiking stage in the Olsberg Sauerland.
