The trails begin and end at St. Michael's Church and explore different themes over 3.5 kilometers and seven stations (trail 1), 7.5 kilometers and nine stations (trail 2) and 15 kilometers and eleven stations (trail 3): Path 1 is dedicated to the "Our Father" on the station boards, Path 2 to the "Psalms" and Path 3 is on the theme of "Life's journeys". The paths are intended to offer hikers/pilgrims the opportunity to reflect on themselves in addition to discovering and experiencing nature (directly on the Rothaarsteig); they offer rest and relaxation for body and soul. The theme boards take up the respective path and landscape impulses. The range of trails is complemented by the St. Michael Pilgrims' House, a self-catering house (former rectory) for groups of up to twelve people, located directly next to the church.

Directions

From the church (1st station), the path leads downhill and to the right into Königsberger Straße. After approx. 30m, continue left on a narrow path along the ponds, where the 2nd station is on the left at a bench. Following the path slightly uphill, we reach the Christophorus-Haus (3rd station) after a slight left turn. From there, a long avenue leads slightly downhill to the main road 251; at the end of the avenue we come to the 4th station. Parallel to the main road, we follow the pedestrian/cycle path to the left until we reach the railroad underpass, where we cross the B251 and continue downhill to the outdoor pool. (5th station on the right at the end of the narrow path). Continue straight ahead on the asphalt path that leads slightly uphill. When we reach the top, we come to a crossroads, where we turn right for about 50m, then left uphill on the grassy path past the generational forest. On the gravel path we reach, we turn left and after approx. 100m we reach the 6th station at a bench on the Hängeberg. Continuing along the path, we reach a crossroads, where we follow the second path downhill to the left and reach the B251 again at the former Hubertushof farm. Follow the pedestrian path along the road back to the church (7th station).
