Description
This demanding and varied walking route starting at Beaufort Castle leads through woods, along picturesque stream valleys and bizarre rock formations.
The path starts at the castles of Beaufort: the medieval castle and the adjoining Renaissance castle. The castle can be visited. The well-known Cassero (liqueur made from blackcurrants) is produced there. From there, the path leads over a wooden footbridge towards Klingelbuer, the former washing basin of the castle.
After passing through a small village, it continues through the forest, along a stream, down into the Saueruecht nature reserve. Here there are beautiful viewpoints overlooking the Sauer valley.
Towards the end of the route, you reach the wild romantic stream valleys of Haupeschbaach and Halerbaach. Small wooden bridges, lush moss growth and huge boulders characterize the landscape. The crowning conclusion of the route is the view of the castle with the small pond in front of it.

The route begins at the car park at Beaufort Castle.
The village of Beaufort lies on a plateau, surrounded by beautiful countryside and lovely walking routes. The village offers a variety of places to eat and stay overnight.
The first part of the route passes the castle via a footbridge to Klingelbur (the old washing place of the castle). Continuing along the route, you pass Klaisgen (a small chapel 50 meters to the left of the route) and along the rock formations at the Birkbaach and the Herkuleskapp. The path then follows the edge of the Beaufort plateau above the Saueruecht nature reserve, leading down near Köppeglee into the picturesque valley of Halerbaach and Haupeschbaach, and finally returns to the starting point.
