The Medebacher Bergweg connects the city of Medebach with all its districts. The 9 pretty half-timbered villages are explored one after the other like a string of pearls. It shows hikers and runners the beauty of the sun-kissed Medebach Bay, which is also called the "Tuscany of the Sauerland". The path runs around Medebach, touches all the villages of the city, leads over the highest mountains, opens up the old, historical traces of the Glindfeld monastery and winds through the untouched valleys of the East Sauerland. 

Admin note: Thru-hike style FKTs that make extensive use of private land are recorded on the Catskill High Peaks route page.

Route starts at the Summit Point Trailhead; trail 1885. After a few miles, go right passing Schneider Cabin then find and descend trail 1868 (Jim Fiske creek) which will merge into a two-track leading to the Cornucopia Pack Station on West Pine Creek. Continue through the pack station grounds and find trail 1880, West Fork Pine Creek. Climb this arduous trail past Pine Lakes and over the pass until it rejoins trail 1885; followed back to the Summit Point trailhead.
