Sauerland's Essential Treasures

Sauerland features diverse landmarks, from the 841-meter Kahler Asten peak to the Atta Cave, one of Germany’s largest dripstone systems.

Religious heritage is represented by the 11th-century "Bonten Kerke" in Lieberhausen and the unique Romanesque Drüggelter Kapelle. Visitors can explore medieval remnants like the Arnsberg castle ruins and the preserved city gates of Rüthen and Brilon, or view the landscape from the modern Jübergturm tower.
