Plettenberg
The four-valley town of Plettenberg is located in the west of the Sauerland between the Lennegebirge mountains in the north and the Ebbegebirge mountains in the south. The town extends into the four river valleys of the Lenne, Else, Grüne and Oester, offering pure nature.
The green, wooded low mountain range landscape offers the ideal backdrop for all nature lovers and invites you to go on extensive hiking and cycling tours. Plettenberg is located on the Lenneroute, the adventure cycle path from the source of the Lenne to where it flows into the Ruhr. The town also has access to the Sauerland-Höhenflug, the 250-kilometer quality long-distance hiking trail. The P-Weg, a 63-kilometer hiking and mountain bike trail, also runs around the town.
The Oestertalsperre reservoir is also part of the municipal area. The town's largest swimming pool is a popular destination for diving, swimming and fishing. In summer, you can glide across the water on a stand-up paddleboard and discover the dam from a special perspective. The AquaMagis water and slide park also promises unforgettable water fun. Whether action on the unique slides or relaxation in the Caribbean and sauna world, there is something for everyone here.
Every town has its own history, which is brought to life through monuments and cultural institutions. A guided tour through the "Neu Glück" lead ore mine museum provides an insight into the history of iron ore mining "underground". A visit to the Heimathaus Plettenberg traces the history of the town's foundation and its industrial tradition.
The Plettenberg history trail and the audio guide bike tours offer the opportunity to discover Plettenberg's history(s) at your own pace. Whether relaxation, action, nature, culture or history, there is plenty to see and discover in the four-valley town!
