At the Sauren Breite turn left over the Wildunger Landstraße and climb to Waldecker Berg (grill and rest area). Arrived at the height along the edge of the forest. Past the beekeeping bee stall of Korbach (with flower meadow and educational path) further north. On asphalted roads over the B251 and with great views to the water reservoir at Strother Straße. These cross and continue along the outskirts of the city to the edge of the Korbach industrial area.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
- If you want to learn more about Korbach's fortifications and the history of the medieval Hanseatic city, I recommend the circular route "Between the Walls" - always along the double city wall ring around the old town of Korbach. 10 interactive stations invite pedestrians and cyclists on a journey into the past. You can find the tour under "City tours" also in this portal.
Safety guidelines
- Due to the road condition (in addition to asphalt also gravel field and forest roads) and three ascending sections suitable especially for trekking bikes and mountain bikes with road traffic permit.
