Marking and signposting
Well-marked paths and a clearly signposted network of trails help with orientation:
On the Sauerland-Höhenflug, there are hiking signs at all junctions where several hiking trails meet. These provide information about a local and long-distance destination on the Höhenflug with the respective distance in kilometers. They also provide information about the exact location with UTM coordinates, the altitude of the location and the hiking trails to the left and right.
The Sauerland-Höhenflug is also marked at regular intervals for safe hiking. These markings are constantly checked by the rangers of the Landesbetrieb Wald und Holz NRW and by the Sauerland Mountain Association and tightened if necessary. Safe hiking markings and signs are an important criterion for certification as a Wanderbares Deutschland quality trail.
The most important markings on the Sauerland-Höhenflug are:
The white H on a yellow background marks the Sauerland-Höhenflug main trail The white H on a blue background marks a Sauerland-Höhenflug circular trail The white H on a black background marks the Sauerland-Höhenflug access trailIn an emergency, things have to move quickly! That's why the Sauerland-Höhenflug is equipped with so-called rescue signs throughout. The green and white plaques attached to the posts of the signposts have a number that you must give when making an emergency call. This means that the emergency services know exactly where you are and valuable time can be saved.
