The Sauerland offers countless hiking opportunities over hills, through valleys, and through various forests, all gentle and idyllic. The region offers hiking experiences on difficult trails or on individual, tailor-made hikes. We would be happy to put them together for you. It's no coincidence that the Sauerland is one of the most popular hiking areas in Germany.

Above all, the Rothaarsteig – the modern long-distance hiking trail for nature lovers – is known far beyond the borders of the Sauerland. Here, hikers can experience the natural tranquility and untouched landscape in one of the largest contiguous forest areas in Europe. Here, you'll experience the perfect combination of viewpoints, adventure trails, and natural landscapes.

The street village of Elleringhausen is a typical Sauerland village with many half-timbered houses. Particularly interesting is the house of the artist Jürgen Suberg, who has his studio opposite the church.
