View of Winterberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Winterberg has developed over the summer into a true cycling mecca. Here you can find one of the largest bike parks in Germany on the Erlebnisberg Kappe. Opposite a mountain bike trail center has been created. Winterberg also has a lot in store for racing cyclists. The city serves many cycling and cycling routes as a starting point. The tourism hotspot in the Sauerland region has a wide range of accommodation, so a stay of several days is definitely worthwhile.

Graf Stolberg Hut

Great hut that can be used as the start or end point of many hikes in the Waldeck Sauerland. There is a parking lot within walking distance. Delicious schnitzel and wheat beer!

Diemel spring with refuge

Highlight • River

At this point, exactly at the junction of the two mountains Upland and Sauerland, the Diemel begins its 110-kilometer journey to the Weser. From here, the narrow river meanders through the North Rhine-Westphalian Hochsauerland and the Hessian highlands. The Diemelradweg accompanies the river up to its mouth.

View of Willingen Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

Great structure of a railway viaduct. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the development and expansion of the railway network, many viaducts resembled each other.
