From the Diemel dam, the trail leads along the beautiful Diemelsee with its glistening blue-green water up to the Buttenberg. After the ascent, you pass the villages of Bontkirchen and Hoppecke in the direction of Pulvermühle. At Poppenberg, the route then leads to Brilon Bürgerwald with the Kyrilltor gate. Here, too, you can take a short detour to visit the Bürgerwald or take a detour along the Gewerkenweg or the Rothaarsteig.

In winter, Petersborn offers cross-country skiers a variety of options and routes. The Altstadt of Brilon can also be easily reached via the Rothaarsteig or the Brilon Kammweg.

Safety guidelines

Information about the rescue signs on the Sauerland-Waldroute


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?


In an emergency, things have to happen quickly! That's why the Sauerland-Waldroute 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.
