Holperbach Stepping Stone Crossing

Highlight • Bridge

When the water level is normal, it shouldn't be a problem to get to the other side over the stones in the creek.

July 31, 2022,Natursteig Sieg Etappe 9 Wissen nach Au 31.07.2022 16:00

Today we hiked the 9th stage of the Natursteig Sieg from knowledge to Au. We parked 🅿️ in Au at the train station and took the RB90 🚉 first to Knowledge. From there we first went on the 4.5 km long access path to the actual natural trail, which then led us for the next 13 km mostly over wide …

As soon as you have got off the train, you are at the water of victory and on the way to the actual climb. This greets you with a sea of violet finger huts where coniferous trees used to stand. Up to the small town of Dünebusch you will find your way around perfectly and clearly, but then: be careful! …

The 9th stage is also very varied, but with some forest highway sections. The path between Bitzen and Holpe is almost non-existent due to clearing work. You have to find your own way down. But it was still a nice stage.

So today is the 9th stage of the Natursteig Sieg. It was a beautiful path and especially walking in the sun felt incredibly good.
From the train station in Au (Sieg) it's a very moderate but steady climb of about 5 km to Halscheid. From there it goes up and down forest paths to Dünebusch. The route sometimes seems a …

Natursteig Sieg - from Au (Sieg) to Wissen

"North of the train station in Au an der Sieg, the Natursteig Sieg stage begins on the street Zum Auer Wald. And the name is an omen: through the expansive forest area, you hike on the Natursteig in a northerly direction into the Wildenburger Land, thus leaving the Rhein-Sieg district (North …

August 28, 2021,Natursteig Sieg Etappe 9 von Au nach Wissen

Actually, I was really happy to finally be able to continue on the Siegsteig today after starting it with a friend last year. But now I know again why we stopped and didn't feel like it anymore. It is really sad and a shame to walk through cleared forests again and again for the most part. Of course there were …

The 9th stage of the Natursteig Sieg is a lot of highway, which I don't like that much, so I was out and about without a dog today. Otherwise the tour is very nice.
