Milchenbach Trailhead Parking

Highlight • Parking

Parking is difficult in Milchenbach. It is therefore best to use the parking lot. Discovered right at the end of the tour 😅

The Oberhundemer donkey path and the Oberhundemer mountain tour are very worthwhile and varied hiking trails.
Promising and with the Alpenhaus also a very nice resting place in a great location.

Claudia loves to create duplicates of already existing highlights.

A real DAV hut of the Essen section in the Sauerland. The descent / ascent via the donkey path is highly recommended.

June 17, 2022,Runde von Milchenbach über Eselspfad

Beautiful, not too difficult circular route near Schmallenberg. Good parking facilities and mostly on shady paths. Parts of the trail lead over the famous Rothaarsteig.

Rothaarsteigspur - On the way on donkey paths🐴
A very nice and varied tour over small paths through forests that are still partially complete 🌲🌳 In the valleys, along small streams again and again. The ascents are rewarded with great views. We started from Milchenbach and have modified the tour a bit to the regular tour.
Fallen trees are currently …

August 15, 2021,Rothaarsteig-Spur Oberhundem mit Rhein-Weser-Turm 🌳🗼🥾☀️

We hiked the Rothaarsteig Spur counterclockwise and added the Rhein-Weser Tower, adding 2 more kilometers. Those who love the forest will like this tour, because you mainly hike through the forests. Only when you walk around the Kahleberg to the north do you get a permanent and wonderful view of the Schmallenberger Sauerland and up to the tower at the …

July 23, 2022,🐴 Eselpfad - Oberhundem 🌞🥾🐕🌳

The donkey trail
🐴was on our list for a long time.
Today we ran it and a little more.
The first almost two kilometers were really tough🧗🥵.
But it was definitely worth it. A really nice single trail, very adventurous, just the way we like it.
It was planned that we would stop at the Alpenhaus, but unfortunately it was …

November 28, 2021,Vom Rhein Weser Turm zum Alpenhaus über Oberhundener Klippen

A very nice hiking route mainly on the donkey path which is just great. No cleared forests in sight, great views over and over again ...... From the Rhein Weser Tower it goes first to the Alpenhaus. From there it goes downhill to Oberhundem. Then it goes uphill again to the Oberhundener cliffs and back to the starting point ...... …

June 16, 2022,🥾 Runde bei Oberhundem mit dem Eselspfad 🥾

Because of the predicted higher temperatures, I had planned a lap that was mostly in the forest. This in the hope that the recorded forests should also still exist. In that regard, I was extremely pleasantly surprised. In the recent past I have not come across an area on my hiking tours that still had so many vital spruce forests. …

May 7, 2022,🥾 Rund um Oberhundem und dem Eselspfad 🥾

Did a popular round around Oberhundem with friends from the Moselle today.
Started at the guest house with parking spaces and via the ascent to the Rothaarsteig. In the further course, numerous beautiful vantage points crossed with a view of the many hills of the Sauerland and visited the Alpenhaus for refreshment. Unfortunately, the weather changed from there and a …
