April 6, 2025,Golddorf Route Westfeld / Rothaarsteig-Spur "Kahler Asten-Steig"

A wonderful hike along the Golddorf Route Westfeld and the Rothaarsteig Trail Kahler Asten, which curiously share both names and two trail markers – why remains a mystery to me. I started at the hiking car park in Westfeld, which also features the hiking portal for the tour.

A question in advance: why does komoot show significantly less "time in motion" for all my tours than Garmin? Komoot here 3.8, in Garmin 4.5. It's annoying and I always feel like the lamest crutch...

I treated myself to a weekend in the Sauerland. Mainly to hike the Kahlen-Asten-Steig, which had been on my list for so long.

Today I finally tackled the Kahler Asten, which had been on my "I want to do" list for ages 😊 I decided to go counterclockwise, which was a good thing, because it starts right at the parking lot, uphill, some of it with quite steep gradients 🥵 The final descent with tired legs...🙈 It was great! Fantastic views, often narrow …

Today we went back to the Sauerland winter wonderland.
It started again from Westfeld, this time via the "Rothaarspur Kahler Asten Steig" 🤩
Crunchy climbs, great views, lots of snow and sunshine every now and then - perfect 👍🏻
Thanks to our new Grödel we were quite slip-proof and sure-footed on the way, only on the Kahler Asten the wind …
