On the trail of the border crossers
Schnadegang means as much as border walk. The Schnade (border) was walked regularly to check the correctness of the municipal boundary, to clear the markings and to show new citizens the course of the border. This tradition continues today. You start and end the hike with a fantastic view over the quarry at the gateway to the Sauerland. Further highlights such as the Aabach dam, the valley of the Große Aa, the Schützenwiese and the Aa-Platz await you on the approximately 17 kilometers along the old village border
