Theme: Respect
Sauerland-Seelenorte - these are rocks and quarries, churches and hilltops, mighty trees and underground grottos, lakes and valleys. 43 places, spread over the Sauerland-Wanderdorf, were chosen because they are particularly impressive and have a special meaning for the people living in their surroundings. Not only today, but also in earlier times. They touch people emotionally, mentally and spiritually. They evoke strong resonances. They are places to which people wander and where they can switch off. Come to themselves. Enjoy the peace and quiet. Be inspired. Gain new insights. Even though each soul place tells its own story, there is one quality that connects them all: Living silence.
Information
Directions
From the hikers' parking lot in Düdinghäuser Straße, head south and turn directly into the next road on the right. Pass the lift house of the Büllerhöhe ski lift, follow the asphalt road, take the next turn to the right and pass the small forest. The Geostation is signposted. You will surely like the place. The stone walls almost completely enclose it, a feeling of security sets in when you enter through the narrow entrance. A place of peace and contemplation, shielded from the noise and bustle of modern times. In the center, a spiral of boulders the size of footballs attracts attention. It was created by Geopark guide Renate Hill.
