Briloner Kammweg
The Briloner Kammweg leads 49 km around the Hoppecketal from Brilon to Willingen and back. It is a quality hiking trail that has been certified several times.
The mountains south of Brilon speak to the imagination. When walking over the narrow crest of rocks Broom heads, where gnarly trees crack from a moan, high grass leans in the wind, wild lupins and thimbles show an unreal, beautiful coloring game, one also likes to believe in the mystical and supernatural. The beginning of both the Briloner Kammweg and the Rothaarsteig is it Market Square of the city of Brilon with its beautiful semi-finished houses in Westphalian slate style, which forms the framework for the first kilometres outside the city.
Afterwards, it goes through the Spa Park and to the Möhne spring.

Small paths through dense forests meander to the crossroads and chapels decorated at mountain heights, passing idyllic streams to the craft villages around Medebach.
