The Schmalah Valley Tour starts at the fire oak on the Rothaarsteig and leads with views of the golden village of Elleringhausen past to the InfoCenter of the Bruchhauser Steine. Here the detour up to the stony giants is recommended. An entrance fee for the visit of the Bruchhauser STeine is required and must be paid at the InfoCenter. This detour will mean about 2 km of additional walking, which is well worth it.
A view of the privately owned Wasserschloss and the European Gold Village Bruchhausen rewards the effort of the easy ascent. Furthermore, you reach the Silver Lake, the drinking water for Brilon. Not for nothing the lake has this beautiful name.
