Update
We completed this hike. Here is a video of our adventure!
The plan
For this hike, we will start from Hagen and walk towards Dusseldorf. You will have a choice to hike:
- 25 km by stopping at the Schwelm Hbf: Route on Komoot GPX
- 50 km by stopping at the Wuppertal Hbf Route on Komoot GPX
- 100 km by going all the way to Dusseldorf Route on Komoot GPX
Join us!
We are not planning to stop at a restaurant for lunch, so everyone will have to bring their own food/sandwich.
We expect wet and muddy terrain, so we’ll all need good waterproof shoes and clothes.
When
Departure: Saturday, November 20th, 2021 approx. 7:30 AM. There is an RE4 that leaves Dusseldorf Hbf at 6:42 and arrives in Hagen at 7:25.
Arrival: Sunday, November 21th, 2021 if you do the full distance
