The tour from Vormwald to Lützel on the Rothaarsteig is a breathtaking hike that can be reached by public transport. It leads to dizzying heights and those who dare to make the ascent are rewarded with magnificent views of the snow-covered landscape. The hike begins at Vormwald train station and leads up to the Rothaarsteig via hiking trail X3. After just a few steps, you reach Ginsburg Castle, the first highlight of the tour. It is worth climbing up to the castle, as you can enjoy a wonderful view over the snow-covered Siegerland from up there. You can take a break either here or at the nearby Hotel Ginsberger Heide. The trail continues through the Ginsberger Heide, a nature reserve with rare plant and animal species, towards the Giller. At 653 m, the Giller is the highest point in this area. A climb up the Gillerberg tower offers a special view of the landscape. But there are also great views from the foot of the tower. Depending on the weather, you can watch a beautiful sunset here. After about 1.7 kilometers on the Rothaarsteig, you reach Lützel train station. This tour is an experience all year round, with refreshment stops along the way.
