Information

Directions

The trail starts in the middle of the village of Schanze and follows the SZ4 hiking trail past the Kyrill path and the Krummstab towards the Rothaarsteig. The trail continues along the Rothaarsteig towards Kühhude. In Kühhude, the trail turns off the Rothaarsteig to the east and continues along the circular trail. However, if you wish, you can continue along the Rothaarsteig and hike to the "Stein-Zeit-Mensch" sculpture. The trail from Kühhude back to Schanze rejoins the Rothaarsteig at the "Kein leichtes Spiel" sculpture. From there, follow the path to the junction with the SZ3. At this waypoint, turn left towards Schanze and after approx. 1.5 km you reach the village of Schanze again.

Equipment

Sturdy shoes and clothing suitable for the weather.

Safety guidelines

A rescue point system has been installed in the Hochsauerland district. Rescue points can be found on the information boards at junctions and on hiking signs.
