Küstelberg

Highlight • Settlement

Great village and starting point for many a hike. The Orke spring is not far from the town center. And if you are here, you should definitely try the Sauerland cake in Café Astenblick!

From here, hikers on the Sauerland-Höhenflug have a nice look back at the stages completed so far. In the distance you can see, among other things, the Astentrum on the Kahler Asten.
