Natursteig Sieg

Walking holiday through river valleys with sweeping panoramic trails.

Impressive river landscapes – glorious views – step off the train and into lush greenery. That’s walking along the ever-changing landscapes of the River Sieg on the over 200 km-long Natursteig Sieg.

The Natursteig Sieg has kept its unspoilt character. Mostly on narrow paths and often on historic trails, you walk at times through wildly romantic river scenery and at others across rocky sections with an almost alpine feel. A total of 200 kilometres long and at times decidedly strenuous, this certified quality trail runs between Siegburg in North Rhine-Westphalia and Mudersbach in Rhineland-Palatinate, divided into 14 stages between eleven and 25 kilometres. You don’t have to tackle the whole route, though.

Thanks to the Natursteig Sieg’s excellent links to public transport, you can plan your stages with real flexibility. With over 20 Deutsche Bahn and S-Bahn stops, it’s easy to start in a wide range of places. Wherever your day walk begins, there are always glorious views across the Naturregion Sieg and the picturesque Siegtal. Although the trail follows the river for most of the time, which rises in the southern Rothaar Mountains, it also leads time and again over rocky sections to remote high ground. And impressive natural monuments, castle ruins and half-timbered villages all help ensure that a walk on the Natursteig Sieg is never dull and is still something of a well-kept secret.
