Notice
In the tour planner we inform you under the tab "Current info" about temporary route changes, closures and detours.
This is where your endurance is required: Circular route and longest stage of the Natursteig Sieg with moderate ascents and idyllic stream valleys. You hike on field, forest, and meadow paths – numerous distant views offer pleasant variety.

The access path, like the final section of the previous stage, leads back to the main route uphill over Wissen. A relatively young and sparse forest accompanies the path on the left and right sides of the height, which is often deeply snow-covered in winter. Nearby is the Hagdorn farm with a playground and wildlife enclosure. Down into the valley of the Wisserbach, which on some days rushes powerfully along its course. The elevation above the Lauberbach offers a beautiful view of Birken-Honigsessen, which is soon walked through directly. The Catholic parish church St. Elisabeth, considered the first tent-roof church in Germany, is beautiful. Through a narrow valley gorge down to the quiet valley of the Wipperbach, up to Nochen and steeply down again into the valley where the Wipperbach and Brölbach unite. One last ascent to Kucksberg and then down to Wissen via a path that repeatedly opens views of the Sieg before reaching its valley floor and the yellow-marked access path to the train station.
