Meschede

Meschede is the district town of the Hochsauerland district and lies directly at the foot of the Hennesee. The landscapes of the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park and the Homert extend around the attractive shopping town. The region around the Hennesee is fascinating at any time of year thanks to its beautiful location in the middle of extensive forests. The vacation area delights hikers on the Meschede Höhenwanderweg hiking trail as well as cyclists on the RuhrtalRadweg and the HenneseeSchleife.

There are also beautiful villages such as Eversberg with its historic town center, Freienohl and Remblinghausen with its old sawmill. The Way of St. James, also known as the Sauerland-Camino on this section, also leads through the Jakobus village of Remblinghausen. The Abbey Trail, which connects the Abtei Königsmünster in Meschede with the Bergkloster Bestwig, and the Stiftskirche St. Walburga in the center of Meschede also offer pilgrims an interesting destination. The Eversberg local history museum and the Burgruine Eversberg ruins, which serve as a lookout tower over the Ruhrtal valley, are also worth a visit.

The Hennesee attracts visitors from near and far with many different leisure activities and offers a wide range of options from relaxing to action-packed. The nearby Ruhr-Valme-Elpe valley in the municipality of Bestwig is home to the Fort Fun leisure park and the Sauerland visitor mine, two other popular Sauerland attractions. From hotels to vacation homes - in Meschede you will find numerous accommodation options for a relaxing vacation.
