Gewerkenweg Brilon - Olsberg main path by Conny
October 05, 2025 · Community
Solide schöne Tour auf unterschiedlichen Wegen. Sind von Brilon Richtung Olsberg gewandert. Anfangs Asphalt um aus dem Ort zu gehen, ab der Hiebammenhütte naturbelassene Wege, etwas Schotter aber auch schöne schmale Pfade. Heute hatten wir viel Regen aber selbst dann sind die Ausblicke wundervoll. Eine Führung im Philippstollen ist sehr zu empfehlen!! Ein echter Höhepunkt! Viel lehrreiches über den Erzabbau erfahren, tief in den Stollen hinein marschiert und die ersten Fledermäuse gesehen, die schon ihr Winterquartier aufsuchen 🦇 ☺️ Rundum gelungen!
