This was a strenuous and demanding tour with many highlights, highly recommended.

I'm much too fat, untrained and have a strong fear of heights - perfect conditions to tackle the second stage of the Natursteig Sieg.

They say a pain shared is a pain halved...

...so I'm lucky that dear Jenny hiked with me.

Fantastic weather, hiking events and hiking vacations are getting closer and closer, so get out into nature. And since I hiked the first stage of the Natursteig Sieg a few days ago, I decided to hike the Natursteig Sieg again completely as my second hiking project. In daily stages, and at the end maybe again with overnight stays. I didn't …

A nice up-and-down tour, but it took longer than Komoot indicated, and I took lots of short breaks.
What I also find strange is that when I saved the tour, it only had 410 meters of elevation gain, but when I started in Blankenberg, it said 430 meters, and when I finished, it suddenly said 470 meters.
Well, I made …

As we were hiking with GPS, we suddenly found ourselves on the Bröl in front of a sign indicating a landslide. Unfortunately, there was no sign before any junction that the path had been rerouted. Therefore there are approx. 3km more than planned in the original tour.
Very nice hike. Stages 1 and 2 completed.

January 26, 2025,Katzensprung mit Sieg - Erlebnistour ab Blankenberg

It wasn't a walk in the park. Somehow the cat took every hill on the way with it, and that was really mountainous. Today we're hiking from Blankenberg on the Sieg downstream to Hennef. This route is excellently signposted. It is also the 2nd stage of the Siegsteig and at the same time the Bergischer Weg. You don't need to …

Beautiful forest and meadow route... mostly paths with occasional inclines. Good fitness is required here, but by no means alpine experience as originally stated in the description. Long trousers, hiking boots and mosquito spray are recommended in summer. Free parking is available in front of Blankenberg train station. From Hennef take the S19 back to Blankenberg. Have fun.
