On January 18, 2007, storm Kyrill destroyed large areas of forest in Südwestfalen. In Schanze, the forest has been preserved on an area owned by the state as Kyrill left it. On a path over 1000 m long, visitors can experience the chaos left behind by Kyrill up close and personal. For wheelchair users and families with small children, a 250-meter section of the trail has been made accessible. The Kyrill-Pfad is located on the left-hand side at the end of the village of Schanze in the Schmallenberg Sauerland. It starts at the ranger station Schanze. Parking is available at the hiking parking lot at the beginning of Schanze. From the Bad Berleburg-Kühude hiking parking lot, you can reach the Kyrill-Pfad via the WaldSkulpturenWeg in approx. 1 hour. The Kyrill-Pfad begins on the right-hand side just after the "Krummstab" sculpture. The Rothaarsteig rangers offer guided hikes on the Kyrill-Pfad by arrangement.(Source: Wittgensteiner Wanderland)The Kyrill-Pfad is one of the 43 Sauerland-Seelenorte in the
Sauerland-Wanderdorf. You can find the history of Michael Gleich's Seelenort and other useful information at
