Sauerland-Höhenflug: Only Flying is More Beautiful
The certified long-distance hiking trail passes through 19 cities and towns and connects numerous sights, sceneries and natural features on its individual stages.
Nature lovers can look forward to fascinating nature experiences in the deep forests, in the high moors on the slopes of the Ebbegebirge, in the extensive pastures of the Upland, in the Hochheide on the Kahler Asten or in the mountain meadows of the European bird sanctuary Medebacher Bucht.
But the Sauerland-Höhenflug offers much more than fascinating landscapes and magnificent natural idylls. In the villages along the Sauerland-Höhenflug, the cultural and industrial history lives on today just as much as the traditional rural activity. Museums invite you to visit and learn about the history, industry and crafts of the region.
Enjoy life and recharge your batteries on the Sauerland-Höhenflug - the incomparable distant views are the main reason for this. Whether from the heights around Altena, from the Hunau or the Kahler Pön near Düdinghausen, whether from the Quitmannsturm near Neuenrade, the Schombergturm near Wildewiese, the tower on the Kahler Asten near Winterberg, the Heidkopfturm near Hallenberg or the Georg-Viktor lookout tower near Korbach, the hiker is rewarded everywhere with numerous panoramic views!
And if you let your gaze wander over mountains and valleys, over idyllic villages, over forests, meadows, streams, rivers and lakes, you will realize: Only flying is more beautiful!

Information about the rescue boards at the Sauerland-HöhenflugMostly hiking trails run away from villages and settlements and every hiker has already thought about what would happen if there was an emergency. How can I be found here? Where am I at all? Can the rescue service reach me?But in an emergency, things have to happen quickly! That's why the Sauerland-Höhenflug is equipped throughout with so-called rescue signs. On the green and white plaques, which are attached to the posts of the signposts, there is a number that you have to give when you make your emergency call. This way, the emergency services know exactly where you are and valuable time can be saved.
