The starting and finishing point of the A2 circular hiking trail is the Quellental hiking parking lot in Meinerzhagen, located in the Oben an der Volme region in the Märkisches Sauerland. A first small highlight awaits hikers here: an Archimedes spiral, which makes the theme of water a playful experience along the course of the stream.
The trail then follows sections of the certified Sauerland-Höhenflug long-distance hiking trail and leads through varied forest and meadow landscapes at the foot of the Ebbegebirge mountains. At Koppenkopf, the circular trail passes a war memorial with a rest stop. There is also an XXL bench right in this area, which invites you to climb up and rewards you with a beautiful view over the district of Valbert - a popular photo spot and perfect place for a break.
Another highlight of the trail is the Kneipp facility in Quellental, which is located in the middle of nature right on the edge of the trail. Here you can refresh tired hiking feet before returning to the starting point.
The A2 circular hiking trail is an entertaining, natural and varied circular trail that is ideal for both leisure hikers and active sports enthusiasts.

We recommend sturdy (hiking) footwear for this circular walk, as this is the best way to walk on the different surfaces. There are several rest stops along the way where you can take a short picnic break and the towel in your luggage will keep your feet dry after treading water in the Kneipp facility.
Safety guidelines
The section of the trail that runs along the Sauerland Höhenflug quality hiking trail in particular offers hikers a natural surface, which can be soft and slippery in certain weather conditions.
First aid: In an emergency, call the emergency number 112 and quote the rescue point number. Rescue points are marked access points in the forest for rescue vehicles. If the nearest rescue point is not known, your location can be called up directly via AML (Advanced Mobile Location) during the emergency call.
