Timber harvesting measures
Important note!
The Upper Forestry Office Sauerland would like to point out that due to the bark beetle problem and the associated necessary timber harvesting measures in the forests, hiking trails may be closed at short notice. Walking on closed paths is prohibited and life-threatening! We ask you to observe the closures and not to enter these paths. You can find more information on how to behave in the forest by clicking on the button below:
Closed: Connecting road between Salzscheid & Rothaarsteig
The connecting path (without markings) between Salzscheid (between Latrop and Kühhude) and the Rothaarsteig (direction Schanze or Latrop). In the nature reserve there, old beech trees are threatening to fall onto the path. As an alternative to the popular circular tour from Schanze with the Kyrill trail, Waldskulpturenweg and suspension bridge on the Rothaarsteig we recommend the Rothaarsteig audio trail from Schanze (11 km).
