Anyone wishing to explore Berghausen on foot can choose between two circular walks of notably different lengths. The Graureiherweg is a circular hiking trail of about 14 km around the village. A shorter circular walk is about 6 km long and leads from the village centre via Rabekippel, Stomp and Seibrich back to the village. The approximate distances make the difference in route length clear; the shorter walk also includes these intermediate points along the route.
Hiking with a view
Well-marked hiking trails with numerous benches invite you to enjoy excursions in nature. On the Turmfalkenweg, there is a bench on Rabekippel; from there, the view stretches across the Trufte and Winterscheid as far as Aue. If you would like to consider a specific viewpoint as well as the route length, you can take in this view when choosing your tour.
Cycling in Berghausen
Berghausen is located directly on the Eder Cycle Path; the other tour continues farther afield. The “Adel im 21. Jahrhundert” cycling tour also leads to Berghausen and then returns to Bad Berleburg through the Truftetal valley. These are two different points of reference for planning a cycling trip: the Eder Cycle Path runs directly through the village, while the named tour continues from Berghausen through the Truftetal valley back to Bad Berleburg. This lets you consider which of these route descriptions best suits your planned day of cycling.
Church and earlier village history
The Protestant church in Berghausen was built from 1790 to 1793 using rubble stone from Raumland. Its pulpit dates from 1672, making it older than the church building. The two dates represent different historical periods: the pulpit dates to the 17th century, while the church was built in the late 18th century.
Another point of reference in time comes from an excavation in Berghausen. It uncovered the remains of a stone-built cellar, including pottery fragments. The archaeological remains have been dated to the transition from the 8th to the 9th century AD.
Event and regional produce
Once a year, Berghausen hosts a tractor pulling event where large tractors demonstrate their power. If you would like to plan your trip around this event, check the event date for your travel period.
Unser Laden Berghausen eG offers regional produce: fresh baked goods, meat and sausages, dairy products, and fruit and vegetables from the surrounding area. The product selection may change. If you are planning to shop there for a specific product, it is a good idea to check the current range in advance.
The Fest- und Kulturhalle Berghausen can be rented to clubs, institutions or private individuals; the owner decides whether to approve the rental. If you are considering using it for a group, you should factor this approval into your plans.
