Vacation paradise Biggesee-Listersee: Discover the Sauerland with our tourism association

Biggesee-Listersee Tourism Association

The vacation region of the Biggesee-Listersee nature adventure area stretches along the picturesque shores of the Biggesee and Listersee lakes and now includes the charming towns of Attendorn, Drolshagen, Meinerzhagen, Olpe and the municipality of Wenden. This idyllic region in the heart of South Sauerland offers the perfect ambience for nature lovers, adventure seekers and those looking for relaxation in equal measure. The leisure opportunities in the Biggesee-Listersee nature adventure area are extremely diverse and invite visitors to discover the beauty of nature and relax all year round.

A REGIONALE 2013 project gave rise to the Biggesee-Listersee Tourism Association in 2012 - initially with the member municipalities of Attendorn, Drolshagen, Meinerzhagen and Olpe. The municipality of Wenden joined in 2017.
As part of the REGIONALE 2013, the Sauerland-Seen project was able to implement many valuable tourism elements in the Biggesee-Listersee nature experience area, as well as at the other Sauerland-Seen. The REGIONALE 2025 is currently underway, in which the Sauerland-Seen are once again participating with projects.

The aims of the special-purpose association include promoting the development of tourism in the region, networking tourism partners and service providers and marketing the destination as a whole. Our member municipalities introduce themselves below.

Hanseatic city of Attendorn

The cozy small town with around 25,000 inhabitants, which received its town charter in 1222, is located on the south-western edge of the Ebbegebirge mountains in the Biggetal valley. The Biggetal dam, which was completed in 1965, today offers an excursion paradise for young and old, old and young-at-heart.

City of Drolshagen

The Drolshagen region is part of the Sauerland Rothaargebirge Nature Park, a tranquil, wooded low mountain range landscape. 57 small villages, some of which are picturesquely embedded in nature, belong to the town of Drolshagen. Of these, Essinghausen was awarded the title of state gold village and in 1998 the title of national silver village. Numerous paths lead along babbling brooks through lovely meadows up to the heights.

City of Meinerzhagen

The town of Meinerzhagen is nestled in the mountains and forests of the Märkisches Sauerland at the foot of the Ebbegebirge. Well-kept hotels, restaurants and guesthouses offer visitors comfort and convenience. Nature lovers will find a charming landscape here. The Fürwigge, Genkel and Listertalsperre reservoirs are wonderful to hike around.
