Romantic circular hiking trail through the beautiful Sorpe Valley
This circular hiking trail leads across meadows and through forests, past small rivers and great viewpoints. It goes through the romantic Sorpe valley and over the Hunau, where the primeval forests of tomorrow await. The circular trail starts at the "Großes Bildchen" car park and follows the markings of a white H on a blue background.
The Alte Forsthaus Rehsiepen, a beautiful architectural monument, is located along the route. At Sattelbogen, the trail meets the Sauerland-Höhenflug (marked with a white H on a yellow background), which leads high up to the Huna ridge with the mighty Bödefeld telecommunications tower. There and at the Bödefeld ski lift, hikers can marvel at the magnificent views. Extensive beech forests and mysterious moors are fascinating in the nature reserve on the Hunau.
