With a length of 69 km (excluding the Lichtenfels-Fürstenberg hiking car park connection), the “Quality Trail Hiking Germany” can be hiked in three or more stages. It connects all eight districts and leads, among other things, over the heights of the Eschenberg near Goldhausen and the Griechenkopf near Dalwigksthal.
It offers views of Korbach, the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park, the Rothaar Mountains and leads through the wildly romantic valleys of the Heimbach, the Orke, Aar and Nuhne. Reckenberg Castle, a small footbridge over the Orke, an “Alpine path” and Lichtenfels Castle are also sights along the way.
The tranquil town of Lichtenfels with its districts of Dalwigksthal, Fürstenberg, Goddelsheim, Immighausen, Münden, Neukirchen, Rhadern and Sachsenberg is nestled in the low mountain range of the “Waldeckian Switzerland” and lies between the towns of Korbach, Frankenberg and Medebach at the foothills of the Rothaar Mountains in the west ( Sauerland), the Waldecker Upland in the northwest and the holiday regions Kellerwald-Edersee and Burgwald in the southeast. In the northeast it borders on the Ittertal, in the east on the Edertal, behind which the Kellerwald rises, and in the south on the Nuhnetal.

Generally, the "AST taxi" (on-demand shared taxi) should also be included in your planning. With the on-demand shared taxis (AST), the NVV (North Hesse Transport Association) ensures mobility on routes with lower demand. Instead of a bus, you travel in regular taxis or rental cars. AST services also have fixed timetables – you simply need to book your ride (usually) by phone up to 30 minutes before departure. Please also note that AST services only run when no regular bus lines are operating.

Our tip
The Lichtenfels Panorama Trail does not lead directly past Lichtenfels Castle. The “castle path” is a suitable connecting route, on which you can easily reach the castle. Both are part of the alternative route (marked “green L”). In combination with the main route, a circular path is created that is approx. 9 km long and 200 m in altitude.
safety instructions
The Lichtenfels Panorama Trail leads through shady forests and open terrain. Occasionally trees may have toppled over and branches may have fallen onto the path. Use of the Lichtenfels Panorama Trail is at your own risk. You should not walk the Lichtenfels Panorama Trail in strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall.
The official rescue points (e.g. KB-240 or HSK 1350) are entered/marked on the maps and signs on site. If you are injured, you can inform the emergency services (telephone: 112) of the relevant point.
Unfortunately, the cell phone network is not comprehensive for internet reception.
Due to tree felling operations caused by drought damage, there are currently occasional short-term closures. Up-to-date information on the situation for the entire region can be found on the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park website.
