Hiking around Kirchhundem
The Forsthaus Hohenroth is always a popular excursion destination. Some hiking and circular hiking trails start from here. It offers a beautiful, unfortunately (or fortunately) also very popular restaurant/café. The game reserve offers beautiful animal viewing, especially during the rutting season, and the attached woodland information center rounds off the offering. In some places, regional activities and programs also take place around the forester's lodge. The Kyrill path and the Eder spring area are not far away and the forester's lodge has its charm at any time of the year, but especially in winter with snow.

Neighboring summit of the Kindelsberg, quieter, as the rest area is only used by hikers or mountain bikers. There is a parking lot below the Kindelsberg, which is why the Kindelsberg is visited more often because of the restaurant.

Even during Corona times, there is hot soup and hot and cold drinks through the window at the weekend. We found the pea soup very tasty and were very happy to have something to warm up with in the cold weather

Very nice view, unfortunately, like everywhere else, the bark beetle is raging, so that some trees had to give way! A pleasant place to stay ... the cabin offers shelter from wind and rain! 👍

Ideal to take a little rest ... The view is now pretty nice, unfortunately some trees have been cut down (probably by bark beetles)!

It's wonderful when viewpoints suddenly open up again in the high forest. Update 2025: After the year of bark beetle clearings, there are now very good views in all directions.

Unfortunately the summit book can no longer be found. But it is worth taking a short break on the bench under the summit cross.
