September 2, 2025,Der "Sonnenweg" ☀️ am Rothaarsteig- hier gibt es sogar ein Krokodil 🐊

Blue skies and fluffy clouds—what could be more appropriate than choosing a path called the "Sun Trail?" And it exists in the rainy Siegerland region. The people of Gehaland are pretty brave :-)

Interesting to know: The "Sun Trail" around the towns of Netphen-Hainchen and Irmgarteichen crosses the Rothaarsteig and its access paths in places.

December 28, 2024,Sonnenweg (Siegerland)

Popular circular route in Siegerland with great views and a small moated castle.
The route is well signposted and runs mostly on farm roads.
A section of the Rothaarsteig Kammweg is also included between the Adlerkopf and the Haincher Höhe.
You can stop for a break, for example, at the Gasthof Jokebes at the start/end point of the tour in …

December 28, 2025,"Sonnenweg" im Johannland Runde von Irmgarteichen

A very varied circular hiking trail. Starting at the church in Irmgarteichen, it leads past Hainchen Castle and up to the Rothaarsteig trail. Passing wood carvings and across the Gerndorf pastures, it returns to the starting point. The "Sun Trail" truly lives up to its name!

Today we tackled the Sonnenweg in icy winds and beautiful sunshine.
It is not recommended for fans of beautiful, narrow paths, as 95% of it is on two-lane gravel or asphalt paths.
However, it offers beautiful views from the top.

August 4, 2023,Sonnenweg

this path is very well signposted
The GPS device can be missing
It goes over bare hilltops where new forest will grow.
In summer there is actually little shade on this round.
By the way, the Jokebes inn is a perfect place to stay for hikers.
