The highest mountain in North Rhine-Westphalia is the Langenberg (843m), a wooded peak in the district of the city of Olsberg in the transition to the Hessian Upland. In contrast to its well-known neighbor - the Kahler Asten (842m) - the Langenberg is a rather unpretentious representative of its guild.…

Langenberg Summit (843 m) – Highest Point in North Rhine-Westphalia

Highlight • Summit

Little known but beautiful! The Langenberg lies between Bruchhausen, Wiemeringhausen, Niedersfeld and Willingen. Rothaar and Uplandsteig run directly over the summit. There is a stamp of the Assinghauser hiking pin on the cross.

The way there from Bruchhausen to Langenberg was mostly on wide forest roads through spruce forest and it was very windy and foggy (at Langenberg). The way back was more varied with beautiful paths and a few viewpoints.

Yesterday I was still complaining about the signage in the Sauerland, but today I found a positive example! The Langenberg circular trail (B3) is superbly signposted; you can actually walk it without a map.
A fantastic trail up the highest mountain in the Sauerland! At 843 meters, it's 1 meter higher than the Kahler Asten.

Parked in the parking lot at the church in Bruchhausen, this is where our round started. The goal was the highest point in North Rhine-Westphalia, the Langenberg 848üNN. The path is excellently marked, follow the B3. First it goes over the "hiking highways" of the Rothaarsteig. As you get higher, it gets nicer and steeper, partly through very beautiful high …

The Langenbergrundweg B3 offers an alternative ascent to the Langenberg from Bruchhausen, which doesn't have to hide from the Rothaarsteig section at all 🙋‍♂️

We started our snow hike today in the middle of the village of Bruchhausen.
Stops were the Ochsenkreuz, the Sternrodtlift and the Langenberg (843 m). Through a flurry of snow it went back to the starting point below the Bruchhauser stones.
Unfortunately, we did not have good visibility due to heavy snowfall ❄️. Will repeat the tour at ☀️.

At the end of the walk, I went to the Kneipp sensory garden to cool my feet; I like that after a hike. Unfortunately, the pool wasn't as well maintained as it should have been for me to put my feet in there, which was a shame. Perhaps they'll clean it sometime soon.
