Meinhard Sawusch
July 5, 2025, Alpine Trail on the Große Nister (Kroppacher Schweiz)

The hike along the Weltende nature trail along the 'Große Nister' (Great Nister) in Kroppacher Schweiz (Kroppach Switzerland) is a magnificent, very diverse tour in the Westerwald; it's definitely worth it! However, there's also a challenging, quite alpine route along the Nister. Sturdy, grippy footwear and a head for heights are recommended! The former stone mill in Stein-Wingert houses an idyllically located café with changing opening hours; by the way, you can cross the Nister on stepping stones nearby. So, hiking enthusiasts, put on sturdy footwear and head out into the wonderful nature of Kroppacher Schweiz.
