My insider tip for you
The Hölderstein!
I offer guided hiking tours here
I primarily offer activities around the Hölderstein and the Grenzbach Valley in cooperation with other hiking guides. These can include climbing the via ferrata and abseiling down the cliffs, or continuing the walk across the Wied not over an existing bridge but one that you have built yourself. Hikes are offered from the Hölderstein max. to the Bildeiche; here too, rather with different experiential education focuses (such as borderline experiences of running blind or special tasks on the way). A mixture of adventure and challenge, not quite the everyday hike.

I am a Westerwald native with heart and soul, and love the ‘little town of Wissen on the Sieg’ and the ‘uniqueness’ of its inhabitants. Mining and iron smelting have characterised Wissen for centuries. In my guided tour, you will learn all about the history of the coal and steel industry, the Wissen Walzwerk and its significance for the Wisserland region.
