Directions
The next stage takes us from Nordhelle through various tranquil villages to the Listertalsperre dam. From the Robert-Kolb-Turm, we follow the Nordhangweg downhill to the small village of Mittelhagen, from where we follow the Jagdhornweg until shortly after Echternhagen into the Ebbebach valley. Shortly before the village of Schleifkotten, we leave the Jagdhornweg and walk down the road for a while before crossing the L539 to reach the Knochenmühle, a technical monument from the 19th century. There is also a place of legend here with a bench from the "magical world of legends at the top of the Volme". After this little detour, we return to the L539, which we cross again. The small chapel of St. Mary Magdalene (Grotewiese) is located here on a hill on the edge of the Way of St. James from Paderborn to Cologne. There are seats at the chapel which are ideal for a small picnic. From now on, we follow the pilgrim's shell until the path crosses the Valbert circular route just before the pilgrim's stone below the village of Siepen. This leads us uphill and offers wonderful views of the Ebbegebirge mountains with the Nordhelle and the Grotewiese chapel in the valley. There is also a legendary place with a bench here. South of the village of Unterworbscheid, the trail finally runs parallel to the Bigge-Lister circular trail. We now follow this circular trail for a few more meters before we circle the campsite on a dirt road and finally reach the Windebrucher Straße parking lot, the end point of the Hikable M. There is also a bathing area directly on the other side of the road.Good to know: the "Wanderbare M" can also be discovered in the opposite direction.
