icon-info Details

The Eggeweg is marked with a white horizontal cross (St. Andrew's cross, X1) in both directions by the Eggegebirgsverein. For the first few kilometers, it also runs parallel to the Hermannsweg "H". The Eggeweg is a section of the European long-distance hiking trail E1.

Hiker-friendly accommodation along the Hermannshöhen is designated as a "Hermannshöhen quality establishment" and marked as a recommendation in the stage suggestions.

28 rescue points were created on the Eggeweg. They are used to indicate the location as precisely as possible in the event of danger so that the rescue station can find the scene of the accident promptly and reliably.

The following rescue points are registered with the emergency call center:

1. Silbermühle, 2. Lippischer Velmerstot, 3. Preußischer Velmerstot, 4. Hakehütte, 5. Schwarzes Kreuz, 6. Rehberghütte, 7. Knochenhütte, 8. Heinrich Heine Hütte, 9. Driburger EGV Hütte, 10. Schöne Aussicht, 11. Klusenberg Hütte, 12. Radbaum Hütte, 13. Herbram Wald, 14. Asselner Hütte, 15. Paderborner-Berg-Hütte, 16. Willebadessener Hütte, 17. Johann Kiene Hütte, 18.
