Stepping Stones Across the Nister

For higher water levels certainly not recommended, so better before you look for an alternative route.

Very nice path with a few "key points".

"For those who are always looking for a little adventure, the End of the World Nature Trail is a must. Narrow hiking trails, some of which are carved into the rocks, make this circular hike so appealing View of the valley of the Nister in the heart of Kroppacher Switzerland. An old mine tunnel is another destination of this hiking …

...a little "X-treme test" for the new intervertebral disc. 😏
It had to hurt once, but everything stayed as intended. 😄
It was only when I was crossing the stones that the chocolate bus went off because of the ice on the surface and I went around the outside. 😁

Well then. ✌️😎

Since Kroppacher Schweiz is considered a perfect hiking area and the Weltende Nature Trail was recommended to us for our visit to the Hachenburger Westerwald, we obviously didn't miss this tour.

A great round trip through beautiful nature along the Nister and with probably wonderful views. In our case, these were a bit spoiled by the rain.

March 16, 2022,Tour 23 - Naturpfad Weltende

Finally a nice, albeit more demanding, tour, because you should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights. At the beginning you go above the river Nister quite close to the steeper slope/chasm. In some cases, steel ropes or step irons are attached to the sides for better grip and there are small differences in height to be overcome.. but at …

In Stein-Wingert we are seduced by the Weltende nature trail: a challenging, narrow and rocky path leads to the 'end of the world'.
Once again, the Grote Nister plays the leading role. A pleasant path takes us to Alhausen, where we can cross the water. A warning sign marks the start of the challenging route, also on the WWsteig. The …

A very nice walk, except for a few less beautiful parts. (asphalt roads)
Most of the time narrow sandy paths up or down. The paths were sometimes equipped with railings or steel cables that you could hold on to. Lots of height difference, styles of slopes and stairs.

Michael showed me a special tour today, "Weltende Nature Trail." The tour was once again very beautiful and peppered with challenging climbing sections. A delight for climbers. Parking isn't easy at our starting point, but there are options along the route.
