Directions

The description of the hiking trail M 3 guides us to the town center in the Langenbach district. After turning left, we soon turn right and follow the road to Hardt for about 300 m. Half left, we reach the Hardt Mill in the valley of the Große Nister. We return via Hahn back to Langenbach. Below the town, upwards along the Große Nister to the left at the end of the town, a section of road leads to Großseifen, and partly over the old railway track, then after almost two more kilometers, our circular hike ends in Bad Marienberg.

Safety instructions

Especially in autumn, be aware that leaves on the ground can hide unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path.

Such path impairments are to be expected on every hike.

Equipment

Wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate, functional clothing that protects you from cold and moisture or heat and sun.

Tips

A walk on the barefoot path is a must! If the weather is good, be sure to take off your shoes and socks and walk over the different fields of the barefoot path. An experience for the senses!
