The landscape of the "Sauerland", also called "The Land Of The Thousand Mountains", is a rural, hilly area spreading across most of the south-eastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, in parts heavily forested and, apart from the major valleys, sparsely inhabited. For these reasons, it has been chosen as the first place in Germany to reintroduce the Wisent (or European bison) for example. The Sauerland is the largest tourist region in North Rhine-Westphalia, in particular for mountain biking & cycling, water sports and scenic recreation. The forests and picturesque small towns are attractive for hikers, and other outdoor sports. There are more than 30,000 km of tagged hiking trails in Sauerland region maintained by Sauerland hiking association (SGV) - some of them directly in front of the holiday house. The town and Skiliftkarussell of Winterberg in the Hochsauerlandkreis is a major winter sport resort and only 30 minutes away by car. Sights you can easily visit by bike are for example the exhibition mine in the village of Ramsbeck, the highest waterfall in North Rine-Westphalia, called "Plästerlegge", or the retaining lake "Hennesee". Please ask us if you need help planning your individual (mountain-) bike tour or if you wannt to book a local mountainbike guide.
