View of Hilchenbach, Helberhausen, and Hadem

Highlight • Viewpoint

The spoon path in Hilchenbach is a very beautiful hiking trail overall. The short section on asphalt in the city center is just one of them. The rest of the way leads varied through fields and forests.

Ferndorfbach water wheel in Helberhausen

Highlight • Monument

Nice little water wheel in the center of Helberhausen. Reminiscent of the use of hydroelectric power. Somehow we have forgotten everything that our ancestors already mastered.

Another one of many beautiful views on the spoon trail, this time towards Hilchenbach, last view, if you run the loop against the clock, then it goes into the valley.

The spoon path was a real overall highlight and is a real hiking recommendation. Great views in the landscape of the upper Ferndorf valley. Well signposted with the big L.

It goes up and down and up again 😀 at the end small illogical detours in the guide, but still nice and entertaining. Unfortunately, I did not see any special waypoints that gave the spoon path its name
