Roscheid hiking parking lot

The "Roscheid" hiking parking lot is the starting point for many beautiful hikes in the Auf'm Ebbe and Berndebachtal nature reserves. In addition to the access route to the popular Sauerland-Höhenflug long-distance hiking trail, there are also circular hiking trails for relaxing hours in nature.

Circular hiking tip along parts of the Sauerland-Höhenflug: The 13 km long circular hiking trail A9 is a beautiful tour. Via the access path and in sections via the main trail of the Sauerland-Höhenflug, you hike through quarry and floodplain forests into the Berndebachtal nature reserve and through the Wesebachtal back to the starting point. If you prefer a shorter tour, follow hiking trail A8, which shortens the longer circular trail A9 to 4.9 km.

Hiking tip for long-distance hikers: from here, the black-marked access trail takes you to the Sauerland-Höhenflug in just one kilometer.

Roscheid was first mentioned in a document of the Ewig monastery on October 10, 1463, in a dispute between the monastery and an Attendorn citizen over an inherited plot of land on a "mountain called Rosscheit". It was not until 1601 that the monastery had a "very small Kötter Gut" built on Roscheid. The tenant was to look after the monastery forests there.

In 1893, Hof Roscheid was bought by Emmerich Luke. He had previously worked as a farrier and wagon smith in Petersburg and also ran a carter's tavern there.
