The Arnsberg Forest Nature Park offers a little bit of everything: mountains and valleys, streams and lakes, panoramic views and a dense forest sea. This great diversity makes it an equally charming and versatile experience and recreation area.
Sauerland Forest Route
A special highlight is the 240 km Sauerland Forest Route from Iserlohn to Marsberg. The Arnsberg Forest Nature Park gives the Sauerland Forest Route its unique and imposing atmosphere. Discover the diverse myths of the mighty beech forests, romantic floodplain, moor and gorge forests, species-rich swamps, bizarre rock cliffs and enchanted stream meanders. Experience the colours and smells of the seasons, enjoy the sight of special plants such as witchweed or iris, and sometimes pause for a moment: black stork, tawny owl, wildcat, fire salamander or other rare mammals, birds and amphibians can be seen as quiet as a mouse.
Numerous excursion tips
In addition to this WaldMeer, numerous excursion and hiking destinations await you, such as the 35m high Lörmeck Tower, Lake Möhne with its impressive dam wall and wildlife parks in Warstein and Vosswinkel. In the Sauerland Museum in Arnsberg you can learn interesting facts about the holiday region and find regional products in numerous farm shops.
The Arnsberg Forest Nature Park is a place to experience for every generation - without admission, without fences and right next door.

Cycling
The region also offers you a perfect infrastructure for cycling. In addition to the typical swinging landscape of the Sauerland with hills, forests and valleys, there are lonely roads and challenging trails that want to be explored by bike. The Bigge-Lister Cycle Ring is divided into an altitude route and a lake route.
Magical lakes
Spend dreamlike days on the crystal-clear lakes! There are numerous offers for sailors, divers, surfers, anglers or for swimming. What do you like: dreamy bathing spots to relax or rather bathing spots for romping and action in the water? You will find both in the Biggesee-Listersee nature adventure area.
