Stage description
From Bad Marienberg, the trail first climbs up to the Großer Wolfstein, a cluster of basalt rocks of volcanic origin. You’ll walk comfortably along forest paths to Unnau and, after a short stretch along a country road, downhill to Hirtscheid. Just before the village, there’s a nice bench by the Große Nister where you can take a break. Now the route heads uphill again along roads to Alpenrod. Beyond that lies the Gräbersberg with the popular Alpenröder Hütte and a lookout tower. Afterward, the route continues mainly through the forest and finally past Steinebach an der Wied. Beyond Langenbaum, you reach the Westerwald Lake District with the Dreifelder Weiher; on its eastern side, a nature trail leads to Dreifelden. The route then crosses the mouth of the Wied and continues mostly on narrower paths past the Brinken and Postweiher ponds to the end of the stage at the campground in Freilingen.
