Saukaute Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

There are several forked paths in the area of the refuge. The paths are given names. A good shelter in bad weather. Otherwise, the hut is also great for a rest.

The Buchheller is something special: 16 pits, eleven tributaries and seven nature reserves border this small stream. The valley itself is a very beautiful nature reserve with interesting stone formations.

from the Trödelsteinen (613 m above sea level) you can see over the Siegerland to the Kindelsberg (618 m above sea level). We had very good visibility today.

At 4.5° and a cold wind, we enjoyed this beautiful junk stone path again.
Well signposted, new benches to rest on, lots of beautiful narrow paths, highly recommended.

"Oh shit" 😞

As soon as we entered the hiking car park, we became aware of the extent of the whole chaos.

Despite the many clear-cut areas there, it was a wonderful tour. Mainly on beautiful paths through the former forests, but …

I hiked this path yesterday at a sweaty 28 degrees. After the path was closed for a long time, it can now be walked in its entirety with a slightly different route. I didn't go through the changes because I wanted to see the original route.
I really enjoyed the hike.
Tip: Be sure to take enough water with you, …

Today, in glorious weather 🌞, we hiked the Trödelsteinpfad, a Rothaarsteig trail (our 5th of 14), in Burbach-Wahlbach 🎒🥾 . We parked at the local hiking car park 🅿️. The route is well marked in both directions ↔️ with the white R on a black background. We hiked clockwise 🔃 because we didn't want to start with a steep incline. …
