A great idea to DRINK a chilled Veltins, Radler or Fassbrause with a great view! For a "tip" of 1.50 euros you can take something out!

April 28, 2022,Altenhellefeld - Wacholderheide – Waldtheke -

Hey, at ☀️☀️☀️16 degrees a nice varied tour.
At first it's a bit on asphalt but you have a wonderful view of the surrounding area. Grevenstein also a nice village with the adjacent brewery.
Yes, and right in the middle there is a wonderful rest area with a counter and almost everything that goes with it. No 🍻 😀
At …

May 1, 2022,1.Mai-Wachholderheide - Waldtheke- Runde von Altenhellefeld

Another nice 🍄🌻 hike for May 1st. The weather is ideal. With a group of 9 people, the fun factor was not neglected.👍
We really liked the juniper path in Altenhellefeld with the views 👌.
Unfortunately, the Grevensteiners didn't "reward" us at the forest counter with a few drinks 😭. Since our backpacks had to serve.
Conclusion: This route➡️ was …

June 10, 2022,Altenhellefeld-Wacholderheide-Sonnenstück 🌾🥾🌼🐴

I was already on the road at 05:30 this morning 😊. My destination, the parking lot at the fire station in Altenhellefeld. From there it went a little through the village, but then quite quickly into the juniper area 🥾 . Already on the way I had a beautiful morning mood with the rising sun, the fog, which lay deep …

August 15, 2024,Tolle Fernblicke 😍 –Bierbrau Wunderweg, Sonnenstück

A beautiful hike with wonderful views on the BierbrauWunderweg and to the large Sonnenstück.
Benches were rare and partly overgrown; a poor reflection of the municipality of Grevenstein, which wants to attract tourists.
There are many times more high seats!

February 16, 2025,Wanderung auf dem Teilstück von Altenhellefeld- AT+Bierbrauwanderweg

Start/Finish: Wacholdergebiet hiking car park, Altenhellefeld
From the hiking car park I followed the AT hiking sign, which intersects with the Bierbrau Wunderweg from Grevenstein. I passed stations 7 and 5. At the top of the large Sonnenstück there is a shelter with a summit book. I then went back into Altenhellefeld below the large Sonnenstück. The tour offers many …

December 2, 2023,Schneerunde von Altenhellefeld 🥾🐶☁️🌨️

Since the 🎿 season started here in Sauerland this weekend, I chose a not so busy place for my first snow hike, Altenhellefeld.
A part of the path led over the Bierbrau-Wunderweg, which is also a very nice hiking trail 🍻🍺, I've already walked it twice.
The paths were quite icy and you really had to be careful where you …
