Hexenweg (Witches' Path) in Deilbachtal

Highlight • Trail

We walked through the Witches' Path, I can only recommend including it in your tour otherwise you will miss an absolutely rustic path. Of course better during the growing season!

November 13, 2022,Goldene Spätherbst-Wanderung über den 🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️weg & Neanderlandsteig im Deilbachtal🍁☀️🍄🧡

A hiking region for heart & soul, just to switch off & enjoy 🥰, along with sporting activities 🥾. In the hilly expanse, 'woman' clearly notices that this is where the Bergisches Land begins. Really nice idyllic and original paths along the Deilbach, through forests and over fields. What a fantastically beautiful day 🧡🍂☀️‼️

The tour is moderately difficult with a reasonably good physical condition. In any case absolutely beautiful.

April 26, 2025,🌳Deilbach Runde von Herzkamp🐐

A great loop with a stunning view.
However, the "For advanced" rating should be taken seriously, as some sections are a bit more challenging. If you're not quite as fit, you can bypass them – but you should look for alternative routes early enough. Otherwise, you risk a dead end 🚧.

A great round north of Wuppertal in the Deilbachtal of Elfringhauser Schweiz - it's worth starting the day early for that.

😎 Witch Round Herzkamp 😎 and back...

For us, despite the 32°C today, it was a nice training lap for the E5
(12Kg field pack, 2L water consumption, 1Kg lost and still quite fit on it...)
