From the "Im Schwinkel" hiking parking lot, walk along the Medebacher Bergweg towards Dreislar. At Hundecke, briefly cross the Medelon country road and follow the blue Höhenflug sign and the D1 westwards. At Rüdenscheid, the high flight leaves us and we follow the D1 around the Linsenberg. After approx. 2 km, the small mining village of Dreislar is already in sight, now leave the path to the right via a meadow path straight downhill. This path is not signposted. At the bottom of the new path, turn left and follow the next small path to the left for a short distance until you see the small barite quarry on the left.
Here you are now close to the Quarzklippen and above the Dreislar barite quarry. On the way back to the village, follow the road past the small church. The "Zum Burghof" inn is on the left and the barite museum is on the right. Continue straight ahead, slightly uphill, past the Friedfof and along the Sleeping Beauty Trail to the wellness rest area.
