Sauerland-Waldroute by bus and train: From Warstein to Rüthen (Westfalenbus)

Natural and industrial history and all kinds of legends and myths from the Arnsberg Forest await you on this tour. In Rüthen, you first follow the access route towards the Waldroute through the Möhnetal valley to Bibertal.

Here you pass the gateway to the Waldroute. A detour into the valley offers the opportunity to visit the "Waldschiff" environmental education station or the forest adventure beaver trail. The route continues through the middle of the Arnsberg Forest to Kallenhardt, where the Romantikhotel Knippschild is a great place for a short break.

From the village, the trail leads across wide open spaces, which in many places still show signs of lime mining, to Hoher Stein. An access path now takes you towards your destination, past Suttrop. Traces of Suttrop's lime history can also be found here, such as the Kalköfen or the diamond path.

The route now leads past Suttrop in the direction of Warstein Markt with some nice places to stop for refreshments.

Information about the rescue signs on the Sauerland-Waldroute

Most hiking trails run away from towns and settlements and every hiker has thought about what would happen if an emergency were to occur. How can I be found here? Where am I anyway? Can the emergency services reach me?

In an emergency, things have to happen quickly! That's why the Sauerland-Waldroute is equipped with so-called rescue signs throughout. The green and white stickers attached to the posts of the signposts have a number that you must give when making an emergency call. This means that the emergency services know exactly where you are and valuable time can be saved.
