The historic Valbert Hunting Horn Trail starts and ends in the center of Valbert, at the Denkmalplatz Valbert. Along the way, you will find many small information boards that explain the origins of the field names, the locations of the former smelters and industrial plants, as well as all kinds of folk tales about the formerly independent municipality of Valbert.
Most of this hiking trail runs on asphalt, sometimes alongside the road, but it also offers variety with natural paths through the forests at the foot of the Ebbegebirge.
Information
Equipment
Sturdy (hiking) footwear is particularly recommended on the near-natural forest paths.
Safety guidelines

First aid: In an emergency, call the emergency number 112 and quote the rescue point number. Rescue points are marked access points in the forest for rescue vehicles.
