Route map

The old trade route between Leipzig, Kassel and Cologne known as the Heidenstrasse is being revived. See websites on sections Korbach-Winterberg and Schmallenberg/Oberkirchen-Marienheide. Guides are published by Bonifatius to the sections in the Sauerland from Oberkirchen to Attendorn, and from Attendorn to Marienheide.
The Eichsfelder Jakobusweg also forms part of this, currently open from Beuren east of Heiligenstadt to the Thuringia/Hesse border at Bornhagen.
