Border crossers welcome!
You follow the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hessen on narrow paths. Variety is a top priority on this tour: Coniferous forests alternate with fantastic views and ancient beech trees.

Every 10 years, the Brilon Schnade also runs along here, where Brilon's borders have been checked since 1388. The Schnade parade is one of the largest and most original folk festivals in Westfalen and is the epitome of Brilon's customs and traditions.
