Waterfalls and Creekside Bench on the Bridges and Gorges Trail

Highlight • Waterfall

For me one of the most beautiful corners of the circular route - waterfall and stream cross here and there is a bench to rest on a small island in the stream.

Gorge and Bridge Trail in the Helletal

Highlight • Trail

Unfortunately, the path cannot be used on the route planned for the hike from Winterberg to the Ruhrquelle. Unfortunately, this path has been closed by the city of Winterberg because it is no longer safe.
Access to the Helleschlucht is possible near the Winterberger train station. There is signage there.

July 31, 2024,20240731 Sauerland: Kleine Runde in Winterberg

At the end of our short vacation in the Sauerland, we took a little walk around Winterberg. It was wonderfully cool in the Helle Schlucht. Now we're back home and sweating in 33 degrees 😃.
