Forest, water and iron ore are riches that nature gave us thousands of years ago. We want to show here how we have used both, how this has shaped our environment and what we make of it today.
The Märkisch part of the Sauerland is one of the most successful economic regions in Germany - surrounded by magnificent mountains and valleys! Forests and rivers still characterize our landscape. They invite you to enjoy the adventure of nature - while hiking, walking, cycling and relaxing.
Ten impressive reservoirs are spread across the region. They complement our leisure activities and are also one of the most striking testimonies to our fascinating industrial history. Look forward to a variety of nature experiences and exciting discoveries of industrial culture.
