A beautiful day hike awaits you on this stage. From Brilon town (train station), this stage leads on its first part over the Briloner Kammweg past the Poppenberg in the direction of Gudenhagen.
Here the Brilon Bürgerwald with the Kyrilltor opens up to you and finally you meet the Sauerland-Waldroute here. This now leads you through various nature reserves in the direction of Olsberg and up the Langer Berg. From here you have a great view over Olsberg and the surrounding area. Past Schellenstein Castle, the route leads back into the deep forests and along the small river Elpe through the village of Ostwig, with nice places to stop for refreshments. Finally, the stage leads up to the Bergkloster Bestwig and from there to the train station. From the finish at Bestwig station there are good train connections back to Brilon.

Safty guidelines
Information about the rescue boards on the Sauerland-WaldrouteMostly hiking trails run away from villages and settlements and every hiker has already thought about what would happen if there was an emergency. How can I be found here? Where am I at all? Can the rescue service reach me?But in an emergency, things have to happen quickly! That's why the Sauerland-Waldroute is equipped with so-called rescue signs throughout. On the green and white plaques, which are attached to the posts of the signposts, there is a number that you have to give when you make your emergency call. This way, the emergency services know exactly where you are and valuable time can be saved.
