Modern hiking and cycling tourism offers, combined with the calming and at the same time vibrant landscape of a varied forest mountain range, offer you the opportunity to experience almost all levels of difficulty on paths and routes. The leisure offer is complemented by the many day trip destinations.
Rothaarsteig, Sauerland-Höhenflug, Veischede-Sonnenpfad, the Oberhundemer Bergtour and the Ehmsenweg are five quality or premium hiking trails in the Olpe district. The SauerlandRadring, the Bigge-Agger-Runde and the Ruhr-Sieg-Radweg are highlights for cyclists. The major excursion destinations in the district of Olpe, the Bigge-Listersee with its passenger boat service, the world-famous Attendorn dripstone cave (Atta-Höhle), the Elspe Festival with the annual Karl May Festival and the Panorama Park Sauerland Wildpark are particularly popular with day-trippers.
