An enjoyable tour with lots of "input" from natural and cultural history. The easy circular tour leads past the Sellenbruch nature reserve and over a longer section through the Dollenbruch nature reserve. The babbling of the Dollenbruch stream and the Silberbach stream can be heard again and again!

Safety guidelines
Information about the rescue signs
Most hiking trails run away from towns and settlements and every hiker has thought about what would happen if an emergency were to occur. How can I be found here? Where am I anyway? Can the emergency services reach me?
But in an emergency, things have to move quickly! That's why the hiking trail network in the Lennestadt & Kirchhundem region is equipped with so-called rescue signs throughout. The green and white stickers attached to the posts of the signposts have a number that you must give when making an emergency call. This means that the emergency services know exactly where you are and valuable time can be saved.
