The summit of the Olsberg, with its distinctive summit cross, is clearly visible from afar and is a popular hiking destination.
From the center of Olsberg, where we are at 350 meters above sea level, the trail to the summit (700 meters above sea level) is well-marked.
Take hiking trail 3 up the “Rutsche” road, taking the first left... until just before the Hasley Hut.
From there, follow the road uphill until you see a hiking sign on the left providing further information. Opposite the sign, the trail climbs steeply uphill.
Via the Klippenweg, past the Luisenquelle, a somewhat strenuous but wonderful hiking trail leads up to the summit cross.
The view of the young Ruhrtal rewards your efforts.
We recommend taking Hiking Trail 08 back into town. The trail passes the Forest Altar and continues to the Dr. Grüne Spa Park, where you can cool off after the hike in the covered wading pool.
