Hiking experience

Get out of the daily grind and into the Biggesee-Listersee nature discovery area!

Discover the Biggesee-Listersee nature discovery area at your leisure - hiking is undoubtedly one of the most popular ways to do this. The multifaceted landscape can be explored in a variety of ways and in harmony with nature. Hiking provides an excellent escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and offers deep relaxation. It is also a first-class option for keeping fit while gaining valuable knowledge about the surroundings or the country itself. It also gives us time to think and reflect, allowing new ideas to blossom and recharge our batteries while enjoying the freedom of the outdoors.

From natural trails to panoramic circular tours and low gradient paths: Our continuously marked hiking variety leaves nothing to be desired. In our typical Sauerland deciduous, mixed and coniferous forest as well as directly along the Biggesee and Listersee, you can be active, take a deep breath and enjoy in peace at the same time. A variety of rest areas, benches, viewpoints and refreshment stops make our trails a carefree experience for every hiker.

If you like it close to the water, our Bigge-Lister hiking trail is undoubtedly just right for you. The 46 km loop between Attendorn, Meinerzhagen, Drolshagen and Olpe can also be customized into shorter tours with various connecting links, making it perfect for every requirement. There is a direct connection from the municipality of Wenden to the Bigge-Lister trail.

The Sauerland-Höhenflug, which runs through the middle of the nature adventure area, is also known nationwide. The long-distance hiking trail, which is 250 km long in total, offers a wide variety of options for stages and circular hikes (some with public transport connections) between the entrance portal in Meinerzhagen and the northern elevations of Attendorn with its absolutely unique views. With the fantastic views and vistas, you can leave your everyday life far behind you!

Local hiking trails such as the Drolshagen "KulTour", the Attendorn-Helden "RuHe Pfad", the "Volme-Schatz" in Meinerzhagen, the "Franz-Hitze-Pfad" in Olpe or the "Museums Wanderweg" in Wenden also invite you to discover them. You can find many more tour tips and information in our brochure Hiking experience in the Biggesee-Listersee nature discovery area.
