Discover Fenke: Quarries and Circular Hiking Trail

Fenke combines striking landscape features with a marked circular hiking trail, offering inspiration for a variety of vacation days. The three quarries Fenke 1, Fenke 2, and Fenke 3 are particularly characteristic, differing significantly in size and appearance. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Fenke can therefore get to know the area both through its landscape and through the opportunities it offers for a cycling or hiking tour.

Three Quarries with Different Shapes

Quarry Fenke 2 measures 50 × 20 meters. Quarry Fenke 1 is smaller and is described as a filled-in and leveled former quarry measuring approximately 30 × 20 meters. The approximate figure is part of the landscape description: Fenke 1 does not represent the same dimensions as the two larger quarry sites.

Quarry Fenke 3 is considerably larger, measuring 150 × 35 meters. A newer path divides it into two areas. In addition, the quarry face, which is still approximately 5 meters high today, runs along the slope there. Fill material and spoil heaps interrupt this face in several places. The different sizes, divisions, and visible forms make the three quarries distinguishable from one another.

Cycling or Hiking on the Circular Trail

The “Around Lindlar” circular hiking trail is suitable for a cycling tour and is marked along its entire route by a black “L” on a white background. For the most part, the route follows attractive, well-maintained forest paths; the proportion of single trails is relatively small. This makes it possible to include the tour in your travel plans without limiting it to just one mode of transport. Those who enjoy cycling will find a specific starting point here, as will travelers who would like to explore a path through the forest on foot.

One possible starting point is the parking lot on Wiesenstraße in Fenke. From there, access leads via Neuefelder Straße and Wolfskuhl Straße to the signposted trail. These location details help you deliberately include the starting point in your day plans before the outing. The black “L” marker provides clear orientation along the route.

Fenke as a Starting Point for Different Vacation Days

The quarries and the circular hiking trail appeal to different interests. The distinctive landscape features of the quarry sites can form a thematic focus of your travel plans, while a cycling or hiking tour can be scheduled for another day. Especially when not everyone in a travel group prefers the same daily rhythm, the choice of activity can be tailored to individual interests: the quarries represent different sizes, divisions, and forms, while the circular trail runs through forest paths and individual single trails.

Fenke also has a named point of contact for planning shared celebrations. The carnival association Rot-Weiß Fenke 1964 e.V. makes its clubhouse available for celebrations in a straightforward and flexible manner. This is an independent option in the area and should not be combined with the hiking trail or the quarries into a single event offering.

The Right Holiday Apartment for Your Travel Plans

When looking for a holiday apartment in Fenke, you can first determine which vacation pace and thematic focus suit your trip.

This way, you choose your accommodation not based on a general idea of Fenke, but on the vacation experience you actually want to plan.
