View of Gernsdorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wonderful view of the small town of Gernsdorf with around 1500 inhabitants. The place was first mentioned in a document around 1300. A special feature is the new Gernsdorf church, which was inaugurated in 1951.

Gernsdorf Model Airfield

Beautifully located model airfield with a view to the Rothaarsteig. Here is almost always something going on at the weekend. Ideal for a break, where there is still something to see

Nice hiking area, yes. But is a simple bench really a highlight? Rather not. It's the vantage point.

October 13, 2024,Rothaarsteig-Spur Gernsdorfer Höhentour

Today I hiked the Rothaarsteigspur Gernsdorfer Höhentour. I mistakenly thought the route was boring, but was extremely pleasantly surprised. Gentle climbs and beautiful passages through young deciduous forests make the hike very attractive. The highlight is the section between Gernsbacher and Tiefenrother Höhe on my Rothaarsteig. I was happy to do the extra meters to keep my nose in the …

March 26, 2022,2022 - Deutschland - Hochsauerland - Wanderung - Rothaarsteig-Spur - Gernsdorfer Höhentour

Today I did the first "real" hike in 2022. The Gernsdorfer Höhentour was perfect for this.
The hike offers great panoramic views from the heights far into Siegerland and towards the Westerwald. With just over 200 meters in altitude, the hike wasn't too strenuous. Plenty of benches and tables, changing terrain for running, good signage... well done. Even the detours …
