Stephanopler Tal
Volkringhausen
The gateway to the Sauerland-Waldroute is located at the hiking parking lot in Ispei. From here, the route leads towards Balve Forest, directly into the legendary Hönnetal valley. The rock formation of the "Seven Virgins" is just as impressive as Klusenstein Castle, which is the subject of various legends. Also impressive are the various caves, such as the Feldhofhöhle or the Reckenhöhle, in which stalactites and stalagmites have found their way. Along the Hönne, a tributary of the Ruhr, the Waldroute leads hikers directly to the small village of Volkringhausen.
Information on the rescue signs along the Sauerland-Waldroute
Most hiking trails run away from towns and settlements and every hiker has thought about what would happen if an emergency were to occur. How can I be found here? Where am I anyway? Can the emergency services reach me?
In an emergency, things have to happen quickly! That's why the Sauerland-Waldroute is equipped with so-called rescue signs throughout. The green and white stickers attached to the posts of the signposts have a number that you must give when making an emergency call. This means that the emergency services know exactly where you are and valuable time can be saved.
