Kleiner Wäller "Wolfsteine" - hiking trail
An eventful way - past the Wolfsteine and many other Bad Marienberg sights.
The 7 km long circular path is especially suitable for families, as there is a lot to discover for the children on the way and the hike is guaranteed not to be boring.
The Kleine Wäller Wolfsteine is a great circular hike for families and all hikers who love variety.
The tour starts at the Bad Marienberg Wildlife Park, from where you follow forest paths to the Little and Big Wolfstein. Here you should take your time and read the legend of the Wolfsteine on the information board.
Via the Marienberger Höhe the way leads to the city center. The spa gardens with pharmacist's garden and barefoot path are definitely worth a stop.
In the city center there are many places to stop for a bite to eat, so that you can start the last third of the hike well fortified.
The walk continues in the direction of the basalt park. Here you will find information boards about basalt mining in earlier times. The path leads past the basalt lake and the impressive basalt wall of the park steeply uphill towards the wild park.
Before you reach the Wildpark, you pass the Hedwigsturm. Here you can enjoy the view over the Westerwald at the end of the hike.

Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
I continue on a wide forest path to the Marienberger Höhe and the juniper heath, from where I enjoy the view over Bad Marienberg. Then I follow a field path downhill, turn right after 400 metres and head towards the town centre. I walk around a residential area for a short distance until I reach the street "Unter den Eichen". There I turn left and walk about 300 metres to Kirburger Straße. I follow this to the right and continue straight ahead over a roundabout. Then I turn right into Büchtingstraße and follow it for 200 metres. From there, my path leads me to the right through the spa gardens, past the listed half-timbered house of the Tourist Information and to the "Park of the Senses" with barefoot path and pharmacy garden. I take off my walking shoes and treat my feet to a detour on the circular path with 16 different surfaces. Then I take a quick look at the apothecary garden with 100 different plants before continuing my way across the market square into Bismarckstraße with its shopping and refreshment facilities.
The last third of the way takes me along Bismarckstraße and Rauscheidstraße to the Basalt Park open-air museum, where display boards give me an insight into the volcanic activity of the region some 25 million years ago. From there I walk steeply uphill towards the Wildpark and use the remaining energy to enjoy the panoramic view of the Westerwald from the Hedwig Tower.
