Tips from the Community
The Clemensberg is located in the Neuer Hagen nature reserve, also known as the Niedersfelder Hochheide. It is the fifth highest mountain in the Sauerland. The Clemensberg once had a height of 839.2 meters. But the peak of the mountain was removed as part of the diabase mining. Today's summit is to the north-east of the quarry and originally had a height of 837 metres. As part of a reclamation plan, this peak was raised to 840 meters. Today's summit cross is almost 450 meters west of the former summit. From the mountain cross you can enjoy a wonderful view over the natural area of Harfeld to the Rothaarkamm. Various benches invite you to linger at the summit cross. See sauerland-verzeichnis.de

The up to 90 meters high Bruchhauser stones are a striking landscape symbol of this region and a landscape protection area. All are under strict nature protection, there is only one way up on the field stone with its summit cross.

Especially when the heather is in bloom, the Bald Asten is a sea of flowers. There is also a hotel up here. At 841.9 meters, it is the third highest mountain in the Rothaargebirge after the Langenberg and Hegekopf and the second highest mountain in North Rhine-Westphalia after the Langenberg. The Lenne and Odeborn springs and a high heath are located on the mountain.

The Langenberg is the highest mountain in NRW. Many hiking trails meet here. A nice place for a rest. A summit book on the cross is also available.

The highest mountain in the Sauerland, unfortunately without a view in the middle of the forest, but beautifully prepared.

The protected high heath landscape of Neuer Hagen (also known as Niedersfelder Hochheide) stretches out on the gently sloping northward slope of the Clemensberg. The mountain can be hiked or explored by bike. There are many hiking tours from here. A great view as far as Winterberg.
