The Natursteig Sieg is a long-distance hiking trail of 196.2 km crossing the regions of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany. The route winds through a hilly landscape characterised by forests, cliffs and viewpoints from summits reaching up to 501 m in altitude. Lakes are dotted along the way, offering resting spots in the heart of a varied natural landscape. The trail broadly follows the Sieg valley, stretching from west to east along a well-defined geographical corridor. This trek constitutes a complete traverse of a natural territory representative of this border region between the two Rhinelands.
