Great circular tour, partly on a beautiful route on the NRW/Hessen state border above the Ittertal.

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.
The BK4 takes you straight from the Ittertal up to the Hoppecke Berg, past the 689 m high Hemberg to the Hirschplätze. Directly on the NRW/Hessen state border, you can enjoy part of the Brilon Kammweg with breathtaking views deep into the Westfalen and Hessen countryside. After the tour leaves the Kammweg at Butterdelle, you return to Bontkirchen through the Hessian section.BK4, X21, Green Triangle, BK5
Festes Schuhwerk sollte selbstverständlich sein.
