Survey on the Sauerland-Seelenorte - understanding the emotional experience of nature

What makes the Sauerland-Seelenorte so special? As part of a research project by Witten/Herdecke University in cooperation with Sauerland-Tourismus e.V., we are investigating how visitors perceive these places - in particular the emotional experience and its effect.

To this end, visitors are asked to take part in an anonymous online survey (duration: approx. 15 minutes). The results will help us to further develop the range of services around the Places of the Soul and to better understand how natural places touch and affect people.

All data will be treated confidentially and will only be analyzed anonymously - data protection and confidentiality are fully guaranteed.

A circular tour from the valley up to the peaks of the Ginsterkopf. Part of the trail leads along the certified Rothaarsteig and Brilon Kammweg quality trails.

The hike begins at the hiking parking lot above the Schützenhalle in the Brilon-Wald district and loops above the village up to Schusterknapp, where the route meets the Rothaarsteig and Brilon Kammweg before reaching the Habberg and Ginsterkopf. Once you reach the top, you are literally rewarded with the highlight of the tour - at 663 m, you can simply enjoy the 360° view!
The route continues downhill again to the refuge. If you like, you can now continue downhill for another 500 m to the fire oak, which is well worth seeing and depicts the history of human development in conjunction with the positive and negative benefits of wood and fire.

The last few kilometers take you back down towards Brilon-Wald to the starting point of this impressive hike.
