Hiking Trails and Views in Oberschledorn
The hiking trail starting point in the center of Oberschledorn provides access to the signposted local circular trails O1 to O5. The Rohwieseweg (O1) is a 5 km circular trail in Oberschledorn, with views in every direction. The Hirschtalweg (O3) is 6 km long and offers views of the Waldecker Land. The two distances can be compared directly.
The Hardtweg (O2) is a short circular hike in Medebach-Oberschledorn. The Wilde-Ah-Weg (O5) is a scenic hike from Oberschledorn to neighboring Referinghausen through the valley of the Wilde-Ah stream. This gives you a clear distinction when choosing: O1 and O2 are circular hikes, while O5 leads to a named destination in a neighboring village.

KUMA is a cultural and art center in Oberschledorn. It includes an art exhibition, an art café, an art and painting school, a creative workshop and an out-of-school learning center. Those looking to include an artistic theme alongside hiking trails will find a dedicated focus there.
