BestWay Nuttlar

The Bestwig Bestweg Nuttlar starts and ends at the "Am Evenkopf" hiking parking lot. This hike invites you to discover the beauty of the Sauerland. The trail leads around the Bestwig district of Nuttlar. It goes through the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park, with many beautiful views.
The Nuttlar viaduct is striking right at the start. The highest highway bridge in NRW spans impressively across the valley. The route continues to the crucifixion group, the 12th station of the Nuttlar Way of the Cross. Here, a magnificent view of the Ruhrtal opens up, inviting you to take photos. Two benches invite you to take a break.
The descent leads to the Alfert, an idyllic spot on the Ruhr. Here you can watch the leisurely flow of the water - and often also ducks or swans. The route then continues past the railroad line, the Ruhr and the main road to the Ostwig market square. St. Joseph's Church on the square invites you to take a short break.
A special highlight is the information and rest area at the Nuttlar slate quarry. Here you can find out about the former slate mining in Nuttlar. Part of the slate quarry is under water and is used by cave divers. One of the most extraordinary diving spots in the world! The path then leads through the district of Dümel to an idyllically situated Mariengrotte - the Dümelskopfgrotte.
The route continues along Nuttlar's Königstraße. Here you are only 500 meters from the village center of Nuttlar. The route then climbs over the Abeloh to the Schlinksiepenkopf. From there, you have a breathtaking view of the entire surrounding area and the highest highway bridge in NRW. The final descent takes hikers back to the starting point, where the hike ends with many unforgettable impressions.
