Marsberg
Diemel dam
From Niedermarsberg, the route leads through the town up to historic Obermarsberg. Hikers can make exciting discoveries along the way, such as the Buttenturm - a former dungeon and surveillance tower - or the Drakenhöhle - a former drinking water supply site.
Once at the top, the legendary Knights' Leap offers a fantastic view over the town. The route leads over the Kalvarienberg hill along the Diemel river through the beautiful surrounding forests.
Traces of mining in this region can be seen again and again, but faunistic highlights such as the large fields of wild garlic and arnica also amaze hikers. Finally, the trail leads down to the Diemelsee and the adjacent village of Helminghausen, as well as the Diemelsperrmauer. Numerous bathing spots or one of the bathing beaches invite you to linger and make the end of the stage perfect!

Information on the rescue signs along 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.
