Rothaarsteig

A nature-rich walking trail with mindful moments

The Rothaarsteig is one of Germany’s best-known long-distance walking trails. Since it opened in 2001, it has linked the Sauerland, Siegerland Wittgenstein and Hesse over around 156 kilometres. The white "R" on a red background guides walkers along soft paths through dense forests, across quiet upland plateaus and to far-reaching viewpoints.


From the outset, the Rothaarsteig set new standards for close-to-nature walking. Instead of wide forest tracks, narrow woodland paths define the experience. Places such as the famous forest sofas invite you to pause along the way, making this a true "path of the senses".


Today, around 1,7 million walkers follow this special long-distance trail each year, which has long been among the "Top Trails of Germany". Kleins Wanderreisen has accompanied the Rothaarsteig since its early years and has actively helped shape the trail’s development from the very beginning.


With us, you’ll experience the Rothaarsteig in a relaxed and well-organised way. You walk from stage to stage with a light daypack, while we take care of luggage transfer, carefully selected accommodation and a well-planned itinerary.


Whether as the complete long-distance walk or in selected stages, the Rothaarsteig is an invitation to discover Germany’s upland landscapes step by step.
