VolmeSchatz - puzzle adventures for young and old

On the way through the small town of Halver, on an old railroad embankment, along forest paths and on a small road that almost resembles a panoramic road, you reach this VolmeSchatz. Due to its length, it is a little more challenging, but still ideal for a short hiking experience.Trail conditionsRoad & asphalt: 4.1 km - Gravel path: 3.4 km - Nature trail: 1.2 km - Path section: 0.4 kmWe start at the Karlshöhe in Halver, marked by the Aussichtsturm Karlshöhe. We now descend along a side road towards Herpinetal. Before we see the Herpine leisure center on our right, we follow the path straight ahead into the forest.A path now leads us through the small stream valley before we reach another residential area. We follow Falkenstraße and turn back towards the forest at the bend; this is also where the Eichelkamp Naturerlebnispfad begins. The route runs along an old Schleifkottenbahn track and the first puzzles await hikers along the way. Turning right, we now cross the still young Hälvertal valley and reach a larger crossroads; another exciting riddle board awaits us and a bench invites us to linger. From here, the path leads us up towards the mountains. Once at the top, we now follow the asphalt path past the riding stables in the direction of Schmidtsiepen; a wonderful distant view (with a riddle board) awaits us here along the hiking route. After reaching the small settlement, the path bends right again into the forest and leads us along idyllic fish ponds back into the Herpinetal. The fitness trail, climbing forest and the forest outdoor pool are now along our route before the path leads back up to the starting point, Karlshöhe.
