Hiking experience on paths close to nature, the silence away from the noises of civilization, numerous attractive views, but also insights into life in times gone by: this circular hiking trail offers all of this with a start and finish on the outskirts of Reinhardshausen.
At Hahnberg the path takes a detour to the former roofing slate pit. Until the beginning of the 20th century, slate was mined here in underground and open-cast mining. Today, the post-mining landscape with quarries and spoil heaps worth seeing offers a refuge for numerous rare animal and plant species as well as lichens.
An insider tip on the heights between Hüddingen and Albertshausen is the Totenpfuhl natural monument: a mysterious drainless “sky pond” with an ancient oak tree, 200 m away from the main path.
The highlight of the circular route is the old Hutewald Halloh. Historical use as a forest pasture for pigs has produced rustic tree shapes that have a special power and encourage people to linger intensively.
With a length of 12 km, a lot of nature and some climbs, fans of challenging hiking will get their money's worth. The circular route uses existing markings (R1 and Kellerwaldsteig), but also previous side paths, in order to reduce asphalted routes to a minimum.
Refreshments, some with regional products, can be found in the districts of Hüddingen, Albertshausen and Reinhardshausen.

In general it should "AST-Taxi" (call shared taxi) be included in the planning. With the call-to-collect taxis (AST), the NVV ensures mobility on routes that are not in such high demand. Instead of taking the bus, you can travel here in normal taxis or rental cars. AST also have fixed timetables - all you have to do is (usually) call in to request a trip up to 30 minutes before the trip. Also consider that AST only operate if no normal buses are running parallel.
