Paradise and World Cup Ski Jump / Willingen (W1) (quality tour)

Start in the street "Am Hagen", at the Lagunenbad turn left across the parking lot. At the railroad cut turn right towards the viaduct, there very steep downhill (danger of slipping when wet/snowy). Below the viaduct past the adventure golf course, cross a road and continue straight ahead to the Stryck district. Pass the water treading pool and Stryckteich, and enjoy the splashing of the Itter. In Stryck past the "Gutshof Itterbach" and the "Stryckmühle" to the largest large ski jump in the world. The trail continues through the romantic Strycktal (which means "long, narrow valley" in Celtic), past the "Grebensteine" nature reserve to the so-called Waschkump. From now on the path leads approx. 1.5 km upwards in the valley of the Hermecke and consequently through the "paradise". Before reaching the crest at about 780 m, turn right to return through spruce and mixed forest. After a good 3 km you reach the Mühlenkopfschanze again, but this time at the top of the inrun tower. The path continues downhill, after a sharp right turn it turns left onto the narrow forest nature trail. Past the charcoal pile and interesting illustrated insights into the local nature. Below the game park you can see Willingen in the valley and the beautiful mountain panorama around it.
