Our hike begins in Breitscheid at the corner of Rathausstraße and Hüttenweg. Follow the access path marked with the yellow and black Rothaarsteig logo north uphill into Hüttenweg and continue along Gartenstraße. The access path leads over the tree-lined avenue up onto the Rothaarsteig to the refuge at the Wildweiberhäuschen parking lot. From there, continue to the right along the Rothaarsteig.
