Starting from the Bremberg parking lot, we first head downhill to Winterberg. The easy route continues downhill through the Ruhrtal to Niedersfeld. From here, our route winds its way up towards Langenberg and finally on a difficult trail along the breathtaking Hochheide. Before we reach Küstelberg, we have to conquer the Hillekopf. In Küstelberg, there are several opportunities for a rest before we head uphill again, past the railroad hut at Bringsfeld, and back downhill to Elkeringhausen. After the Ehrenscheider Mühle mill in the Orketal valley, a very steep ascent leads us up to Winterberg.
