Popular circular hiking trail in Hochsauerland.
This hike leads through one of the most beautiful stream valleys in the Upper Sauerland. It begins at the hiking information board in Niedersorpe, not far from the glittering Sorpe.
A special recommendation is a short visit to the Klute art forge with its impressive sculpture park, which is not far from the route. The chapel built in 1739 is also worth seeing: the last renovation in 2005 revealed the remains of an older chapel and pieces of ceramics from the 13th to 14th centuries.
