Information
Directions
We first hike from the hiking parking lot via the Silberg cross and the Kophelle to Brachthausen and enjoy some wonderful views over the hiking area of the municipality of Kirchhundem - in the middle of the Rothaarsteig. In Brachthausen, the Nikolaus-Platz at the church invites you to linger before continuing on the A1 circular route steadily uphill to Kohlhagen and the pilgrimage church. After a contemplative stop at Kohlhagen, it is worth making a short detour to the "Ahe" and the farm café. From the pilgrimage church, the route continues along the processional path to Wirme and from there along a steep path to the Wegescheid hiking parking lot (alternative route along the road; this route is recommended in wet weather).
Equipment
Comfortable path; sturdy footwear is recommended.
