Throughout Bad Laasphe

Feudingen Train Station

Sieg-Lahn-Straße 6-16

57334 Feudingen

The approximately 10-kilometer route leads along well-maintained paths through the springtime landscape of the upper Wittgenstein region and ends in Bad Laasphe with a stop at the castle café. The hike will be led and commentated by local historian and hiking guide Reinhard Schmidt.

The focus of the hike is the story of Katharina Heinrich, who was accused of witchcraft in the region in 1611. At several stations along the way, Reinhard Schmidt connects scenic impressions with historical facts: the origins of the accusations, the role of superstition, and social pressure in the 17th century.

The hike is intentionally planned at a leisurely pace and is suitable for participants with a moderate level of fitness. Several breaks will be taken during which historical texts will be read aloud and key topics discussed.

Registration is possible until May 21, 2026, at 5 p.m.:

The 9th Upper Lahn Valley Hiking Festival will take place on May 30, 2026, in the Bernshausen district of Bad Laasphe.

"Off to the Butterloch!" is the motto of this year's offered hikes, all of which end at the idyllic village community hut by the Bernshausen stream.

Discover the beautiful Wittgenstein landscape with its forests, enchanting stream valleys, and magnificent views on selected hiking tours.

In the afternoon, all hikers are invited to gather for a convivial get-together; non-hikers are, of course, also welcome.

Enjoy coffee and cake from the Kneipp Association, freshly tapped beer, and hearty treats such as mushroom stew, pork steaks, and bratwurst from the Bernshausen community – the perfect way to end the day of hiking.

In the evenings, a shuttle bus is available for the return trip to the starting points of the hikes.
