The photo route has a total length of 11.4 km. It is divided into two loops: the southern loop around the Giersberg with 6.7 km and the northern loop around the Hirschberg with 4.7 km. Both loops start at this point and can also be explored separately. The route has been chosen to take you past the most beautiful village motifs in the landscape.
Along the way, you will find a total of 18 steles with a QR code. Behind them are links with motif tips, photographic tips or short explanatory videos. There is also a photographic task for the rest of the photo route. Over the course of the hike, these tips and tasks will help you to become more and more aware of the variety of motifs and photographic design options around you. Each task has its own hashtag. Take a look at Instagram to see what other photo enthusiasts have come up with and share your own favorite pictures with others.
It doesn't matter which device you use to take your photos. Almost all tips can be implemented with a cell phone or compact camera just as easily as with extensive photographic equipment. But beware: the route offers plenty of exciting motifs whatever the weather - even more than our examples show. So: keep your eyes open! Among other things, you will see 12 of Schmallenberg's more than 80 districts - either up close or from a distance. On the horizon you can even spot parts of our neighboring communities, and I hope you enjoy hiking and taking photos!
Yours, Klaus-Peter Kappe
