Enjoy the heavenly forest atmosphere of the rustling coniferous and deciduous forests on an approx. 8 km long circular tour and let yourself be inspired by short poems at 6 stations to linger, reflect and enjoy nature.

And enjoy the diverse impressions of light beech old-growth forests, shady coniferous forests and open meadow landscapes with sweeping views over mountains and valleys on this short hike.

In addition to poetry (poems, quotes), there is also information about nature and forest management as well as interesting impulses for experiencing nature at the "Attunement", "Cross Paths", "Passing & Emergence", "Rings of Life", "Arrival" and "Encouragement" resting places .

Impulses & information on the places to stay (experience stations) can be found here:

Information

Directions

The easy hike on easily accessible forest paths of approx. 7.7 km in length is marked throughout with the "white circle on black background" sign. From the starting point at the Rahrbach church, the trail initially leads slightly uphill through open meadows to the edge of the forest (approx. 0.8 km). From the first adventure station ("Einstimmung"), the trail leads gently up and down through coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests, some of which enjoy special protection as so-called wilderness areas or FFH areas, and repeatedly opens up views over open meadow landscapes. You can find out more about the protected forest areas - wilderness and FFH area "Apollmicke and Einsiedelei" - at the "Vergehen & Entstehen" and "Lebensringe" resting places.Please note: The wilderness areas are predominantly located in nature conservation and FFH areas, so it is forbidden to enter the forest areas off the paths or to collect plants or mushrooms. For this reason, you should stay on the marked hiking trail between the resting places 3 and 4 - "Vergehen & Entstehen" and "Lebensringe".And, of course, entering the forest is always at your own risk. This also applies to a hike on the Rahrbach Poetry Trail - whether in the "normal" forest or in the wilderness area, forest visitors must be aware of the typical forest hazards themselves, such as falling branches and tripping hazards.

Equipment

The trail is easy to walk (good forest paths, only slight inclines); sturdy footwear is recommended.
At various points, benches offer the opportunity for a break and contemplation.

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 happen 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.
