About Rothaarsteig
The Rothaarsteig (other called the Rothaar Trail) is a popular long-distance hiking trail in central Germany, in the regions of North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse. It goes 154 through the Rothaargebirge Mountains and the Rothaargebirge Natural Park, starting at Brilon and ending at Dillenburg. The trail itself passes through a very wild region of Germany, with lots of woodlands, rivers, plenty of wildlife, and overgrown, rolling hills. Rothaarsteig is so popular because the trail itself consists of many rope bridges, benches, sculptures, and other points of interest. It's considered a fairly easy hike with no difficult or steep sections and plenty of overnight accommodation options. Other popular long-distance trails in Germany that we've covered are the Malerweg, Rheinsteig, and Rennsteig.
