The Butterpfad dates back to the time that farmers of the region transported their goods, mainly butter and milk, via this route to Neuwied, where they sold their goods at the market. The trail is marked with red-white waymarks and along the trail information tables are located, providing background information on the history of this activity.
In earlier times the trail lead not only from Hümmerich to Rengsdorf but continued through the Шаблон:Lang to Шаблон:Ill (nowadays a district of Neuwied) and from there by tram to the market in Neuwied. The trail connects not only Rengsdorf with Hümmerich but also the Шаблон:Ill in Obersteinebach via a Шаблон:Cvt long path from Hümmerich with the Rheinsteig and the Klosterweg in Rengsdorf.
From its starting point at the St.-Kastor Chapel in Rengsdorf, the trail follows the Völkerwiesenbach valley through beech grove to the hut Philippsruhe at the Kreisstraße 105. Crossing this street, the trail passes Bonefeld in the direction of Straßenhaus. There is the option to follow a small detour to the Шаблон:Lang, a monument of the Middle Ages, and the Шаблон:Lang (Celtic graves). The trail crosses the K105, and goes along a replica of a charcoal production hill and through the sequoia forest, then crossing the B256 in Straßenhaus. The trail follows the direction Шаблон:Lang, with a view on the pit frame of the abandoned Шаблон:Lang, and leads through the Fockenbach valley in the direction Шаблон:Lang (Hümmerich mill). Passing the Alexander gallery and the quarry Шаблон:Lang, after a final rise the trail reaches Hümmerich with its weighing scale museum.[1][2]
