Loop
This challenging hike follows the narrow ridge of the Ith in the Weserbergland region and winds along paths—some of which are very steep—past impressive limestone cliffs. Shady beech forests line the ascent to Hammerslust, where unobstructed views of the valley and the surrounding rolling hills open up. Below the forest edge, the route transitions to natural trails that wind past idyllic meadows and open fields. A sturdy pair of hiking boots with good traction ensures a secure footing on the steep, root-covered and rocky sections.
