Meschede

Meschede is the county seat of the Hochsauerland district and lies directly at the foot of Lake Hennesee. The landscapes of the Arnsberger Wald Nature Park and the Homert stretch out all around this attractive shopping town.

The region around Lake Hennesee captivates visitors in every season thanks to its beautiful setting amid vast forests. The vacation area delights hikers on the Meschede Höhenwanderweg or the Bestwig Panoramaweg and captivates visitors with beautiful villages such as Eversberg with its historic town center, Freienohl with the Küppelturm, and Remblinghausen with its old sawmill.

The nearby Ruhr-Valme-Elpe Valley is home to two of the Sauerland’s biggest attractions: the Fort Fun amusement park and the Sauerland Visitor Mine. In addition, not far from the village of Wasserfall lies the only natural waterfall in North Rhine-Westfalen—the “Plästerlegge.” Also worth seeing are the Eversberg Local History Museum and the Burgruine Eversberg, which serve as a lookout tower for hikers overlooking the Ruhrtal.

From hotels to vacation homes—in Meschede, you’ll find plenty of lodging options for a relaxing vacation.
