The Hölderstein!
I primarily offer activities around the Hölderstein and the Grenzbach Valley in cooperation with other hiking guides. These can include climbing the via ferrata and abseiling down the cliffs, or continuing the walk across the Wied not over an existing bridge but one that you have built yourself. Hikes are offered from the Hölderstein max. to the Bildeiche; here too, rather with different experiential education focuses (such as borderline experiences of running blind or special tasks on the way). A mixture of adventure and challenge, not quite the everyday hike.

Christiane Weber
Certified tour guide and ‘story finder’. The stories behind the story are exciting!
Come with us to the roof terrace of the rolling mill from where you can see almost everything that makes up Wissen. Continue to the Kulturwerk Wissen. Here you can find out what connects Napoleon, Georg Orwell, Sir John Franklin, the Augsburger Puppenkiste and Andy Warhol. The crowning glory is a special treat for the ears.
I am a Westerwald native with heart and soul, and love the ‘little town of Wissen on the Sieg’ and the ‘uniqueness’ of its inhabitants. Mining and iron smelting have characterised Wissen for centuries. In my guided tour, you will learn all about the history of the coal and steel industry, the Wissen Walzwerk and its significance for the Wisserland region.

The last job of Hektor...
Walk with me through the town centre of Wissen an der Sieg or let's discover Wissen from above on a hike over the Kucksberg. On both tours, we will find many traces from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Isabella Groß
Take a picnic at dusk during Advent by the illuminated Christmas star on the Kucksberg and enjoy the magnificent view over Wissen.
As an amateur historian and local historian from Wissen, I enjoy uncovering secrets and events from times gone by and bringing them back to life in my guided tours. I am happy to share my knowledge of ‘old Wissen’ with my guests in a guided tour of the town lasting around two hours, which can also be customised if required.
