Start:
Bommerholz hiking car park, Bommerholzer Straße, Witten 👍
In Bommerholz there is a beautiful section, a highlight, here you walk along a beautiful path next to the Elbsche. Unfortunately, we had to turn back after about 100 meters due to too much mud.

Another very beautiful, scenic route with a variety of scenery in wonderful weather. The hike was mostly under trees, where it was pleasantly cool. I've hiked in the Elbschetal Valley twice before, but I was only familiar with a small part of the route.

A pleasant Christmas hike with some higher-altitude paths, very quiet, not crowded, offering variety through sections of forest, village, field, river, stream, forest path, and paved road.
