Our trekking places
Spend the night in nature
A highlight of the region
Trekking places in Germany have become increasingly popular in recent years. Trekking sites allow you to spend the night in the great outdoors in a limited area. In doing so, they enable a unique, legal nature experience, help bridge the gap between a lack of accommodation and reduce wild camping.
The trekking site season begins on April 1 and ends on October 31. The exception to this is the Aartal trekking site, which closes annually on August 31.08.
What is special about our trekking sites?
Our trekking sites are located in remote places along the Lichtenfels panorama trail and the Nordschleife of the Kellerwaldsteig. They offer the perfect opportunity for overnight stays between daily stages.
More trekking sites in the southern part of the Kellerwaldsteig trail will open in 2026!

The water of the Orke, Nuhne, and Aar rivers should not be drunk (sewage treatment plants, agriculture). In Sachsenberg, along the route between the squares Nuhnetal and FürstenbergThere's a Tegut supermarket nearby. You can stock up on water and provisions there. Additionally, you can ask people in the towns to refill your water bottle. Small amounts of water can usually also be obtained from cemeteries.

Tips and advice for your overnight stay
Lighting fires is not allowed - danger of forest fires! The use of, for example, gas or alcohol stoves on the stone slabs provided is OK.
For an overnight stay you will need everything you would otherwise pack for a night of camping (tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, warm clothing, water and food).
Small bags in which you can take leftover food or packaging waste with you and dispose of it in the nearest garbage can are also helpful.
There are raccoons in the region! Food should therefore be stored safely.
Bring your own toilet paper.
Check out our tips on water supply (see above).
For the Kellerwaldsteig we recommend our hiking pass!
