View from Haincher Höhe over the Siegerland

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Haincher Höhe is part of the east/west or Sieg/Lahn watershed. On a clear day you have a very good view from here, far beyond Siegen. The Haincher Höhe is located directly on the "Rothaarsteig" hiking trail.

Up to the Haincher Höhe: bright sunshine.
From there a view of the Siegerland (images 3+4): only fog, gone with the sun!
During the "climb" to the Lahnhof, the sun came out again, as here just before the junction to Heiligenborn (from picture 5).
"Winter Magic" at the Siegquelle (from image 7), it is completely snowed over.
