What do you love most about hiking? The closeness and idyll of nature, the active relaxation, the unmistakable silence, the scent of the seasons, the little wonders along the way, the taste of fresh spring water, the good conversations? Or simply the feeling of well-being that comes from all of this? Then welcome to the Rothaarsteig, the "path of the senses". In the middle of Germany, it grounds the senses, mind and soul over 154 panoramic kilometers and satisfies your longing for security. Get to know the Rothaarsteig and its hosts. You will find a second home. That's a promise! By the way, the Rothaarsteig is one of the Top Trails of Germany.

True, there are regions that are more famous, as are their long-distance hiking trails. But it’s also what makes the Kammweg trail so charming. Whispering fir trees instead of noisy metropolises, livestock instead of stock exchange, and picturesque villages instead of tourism hot spots. “Glück auf!”, as the German miners say to wish each other good luck before going underground. On more than 285 kilometres, the Kammweg trail crosses the Ore Mountains and the Vogtland. Whether you want to hike the whole tour or only a section for a few days – the Kammweg trail is an all-rounder! The Kammweg trail gave us the chance to really experience what we were doing. In these high-speed modern times, we found peace of mind and our very own rhythm. And very slowly, we realized that quicker is not always better. Sabine M. and Joachim L.
