Philosophical ideas have changed the world and put thinking on a new footing. The "Philosopher's Path" with its 28 stations (originally 18 stations) offers a small selection of food for thought, philosophical thoughts and sayings. The path was created in the 1960s on the outskirts of Schmallenberg in the direction of Fleckenberg with a branch under the viaduct of the old railroad line.
The selected quotations, aphorisms and words of wisdom from thinkers, politicians and writers are timelessly topical. With their words, the authors have created small literary works of art that are thought-provoking and beautiful to read.
