Der Rothaarsteig ist ein prämierter Fernwanderweg im Rothaargebirge und folgt größtenteils der Rhein-/Weserwasserscheide. Bevor der Kammweg irgendwann leider zur Waldautobahn wird, findet man die schönsten Stellen, wie z.B. die Bruchhausener Steine bereits nah am Ausgangsort Brilon. Diese Route nimmt die Höhepunkte mit und endet in Willingen.
