View from Haincher Höhe over the Siegerland

Scenic Cycle Path Along the Meadows

Highlight • Cycleway

Great cycle path between Helgersdorf and Werthenbach, belongs to the Netpher Radring, but has nothing to do with the Malerradweg.

Volkholzer Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Wonderful descent on a wide, easily visible road. You don't get Panorama with the speed, but it's not bad either. It's better to leave the traffic here than up. Ideal …

Third attempt to see the sun ☀️ at Lahnhof and/or Siegquelle: Attempt successful. 👍 I already started in sunshine (see photos). But you have to get used to it first, you are completely blinded 😎 by the bright, unknown thing ☀️ in the sky! 😂😂
The day's goal was in the ski hut. 🌭🥩🍺😂

Because the route from Walpersdorf to Siegquelle is closed for the next few years due to construction work and I didn't want to drive directly from Hainchen up to Lahnhof, I got a tip about this "alternative route".
