Niedersfeld High Heath

Highlight • Natural

The landscape in the Neuer Hagen nature reserve is unique. A nice open area with lots of views. In late summer the colorful Besenheide, in winter when there is snow it is a beautiful cross-country skiing area.

Langenberg Summit (843 m) – Highest Point in North Rhine-Westphalia

Highlight • Summit

Little known but beautiful! The Langenberg lies between Bruchhausen, Wiemeringhausen, Niedersfeld and Willingen. Rothaar and Uplandsteig run directly over the summit. There is a stamp of the Assinghauser hiking pin on the cross.

June 18, 2023,Uplandsteig 3. Etappe Usseln - Willingen

Today I walked the third stage of the Uplandsteig. From Usseln there was an access road to the Diemelquelle, where the Uplandsteig continued. A first highlight is the beautiful view from the refuge on the Knoll with magnificent views 🌄. Next on Krutenberg, also with great views, so from Tepels Kohlhagen. Then into the shady forest with many paths in …

September 19, 2022,Von Willingen nach Usseln Tag 1

Today a new adventure 🐾🐾🏕️ began for us.
We will hike the Upland + Diemelsteig in 5 days. At least that's the plan🙈😄.
On day 1, the weather wasn't technically good today, so we preferred a guesthouse instead of the tent today. A hot shower was worth its weight in gold...
It continues tomorrow...

May 19, 2022,Uplandsteig - Etappe 4: Von Usseln bis Willingen

Hello everyone,
completed the 4th stage of the Uplansteig from Usseln to Willingen today.

First we took the R48 bus to the "Usseln Mitte" stop and from there via the "Upland" feeder to the starting point of the 4th stage.

Due to rain and thunderstorm forecasts, initially quickly pulled through to the "Hochheide Hütte".

August 13, 2024,Uplandsteig Etappe 3 - von Usseln nach Willingen

Today the third stage took us from Usseln to Willingen, mainly on wooded paths and trails. The heights offered some spectacular views and the heath was in full bloom - beautiful! The last 5 to 6 km to Willingen were unfortunately rather monotonous, and because of the approaching thunderstorm we skipped the last detour to the visitor center and went …

April 19, 2025,Uplandsteig Etappe 3: Usseln - Willingen

Actually, getting to Usseln isn't complicated, unless the back of the train goes in a different direction than the front and you board at the front. So I started two hours later than planned and ended up skipping the ice cream in Willingen.

May 31, 2025,Drei Tage auf dem Uplandsteig - Glückliches Finish! Usseln zurück nach Willingen

We've been waiting for almost exactly four weeks for the opportunity to complete the third stage of the Uplandsteig. Happy and exhausted, we were able to tick this item off our personal "bucket list" today. Since today's route was mostly on wide, gravel paths, this stage ranks third in the Uplandsteig hiking trilogy; but it still ranks right up there …

May 2, 2024,Uplandsteig Etappe 3 Diemelquelle - Willingen

So, the last stage of our 3-day Uplandsteig circuit. The lovely senior boss of the taxi company was on time to pick us up at the hotel and took us to the Diemelquelle. Our tour started from there.
Another 23 kilometers lay ahead of us.
It had everything again, beautiful forest paths, great views and peaks.
After a good 10 …
