Bestwig Tourist Information

The Bestwig Tourist Information Office serves as the central point of contact for information about the “Around Lake Hennesee” vacation region, which includes Bestwig and Meschede. Located in the Sauerland, this region is characterized by a diverse low-mountain landscape that offers a wide range of opportunities for extended hikes and bike tours. The options range from trails such as the Bestwig Panorama Trail to the SauerlandRadring and the RuhrtalRadweg, both of which are significant on a broader regional scale.

Cultural and adventure-oriented attractions enrich the regional experience. These include the Sauerland Ramsbeck Visitor Mine, which offers insights into the region’s historic ore mining history, and Fort Fun Adventure Land. Lake Hennesee, a central feature of the region, offers water sports, boat tours on the EMS Hennesee, and the striking “Himmelstreppe” (Stairway to Heaven) at the dam. Other highlights, such as the Plästerlegge—North Rhine-Westfalen’s only natural waterfall—and the Alte Kornmühle in Ramsbeck, round out the range of things to discover.

The region offers a wide range of lodging options in Bestwig and Meschede, from hotels and inns to vacation apartments and vacation homes.
