On the 1000 m long path, visitors experience the chaos after the storm Kyill on January 18, 2007. The land owned by the state was left to its own devices after the storm. Today, visitors can see how new plants are reclaiming the area.
250 meters of the path are designed to be barrier-free and make the storm area accessible to wheelchair users and families with small children.
Information
Directions
On January 18, 2007, hurricane Kyrill destroyed huge areas of forest in Südwestfalen.In Schmallenberg-Schanze, the forest was deliberately preserved on an area owned by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, just as Kyrill left it. The idea is to set up a representative reference area and create a unique viewing and experience project.Visitors will be able to experience the chaos left behind by Kyrill up close and personal along a 1000-meter path. Wooden walkways and steep stepladders lead over heights and depths past imposing root plates to viewing platforms right in the center of the storm damage.A special feature is that part of the trail, around 250 meters, has been designed to be accessible to wheelchair users and families with small children.The Kyrill Trail is located in the Upper Sauerland Regional Forestry Office at the end of Schmallenberg - Schanze and is also easily accessible via the Kühhude hiking parking lot near Bad Berleburg.
