In the south part of the Rothaar Mountains is the Eisenstraße situated, as part of the Landesstraße 722. It is special because, in the surrounding of the road are the springs of the rivers Eder, Sieg and Lahn.
The river Sieg arises in the (historical) Siegerland at the northwest slope of the 650,4m high Jägerhain on the Ederkopf-Lahnkopf-back on a height of 603m above sea level.The walled Sieg spring is situated around 400m northwest of the Jägerhain-summit and circa 1,2 km southeast of the Aukopf. Nearby are two further springs, in only 3km south (Lahn) respectively in northwestern (Eder) direction. Immediately at the Sieg spring is a forest nature trail.
Numerous hiking paths, like the 154,8km long Rothaarstein, line the spring area and are ideal for extensive hikes in this wooded landscape.
