The Sauerland is a rural, hilly area spreading across most of the south-eastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, in parts heavily forested and, apart from the major valleys, sparsely inhabited.
For these reasons, it has been chosen as the first place in Germany to reintroduce the Wisent (European bison).
The Sauerland is the largest tourist region in North Rhine-Westphalia, in particular for mountain biking & cycling, water sports and scenic recreation.
The town and Skiliftkarussell of Winterberg in the Hochsauerlandkreis is a major winter sport resort.
Before 1800 the western part of the Sauerland was part of the County of the Mark based in Altena.
The eastern part adhered to the County of Arnsberg, later became known as the Duchy of Westphalia and was owned by the Archbishops and Electorate of Cologne.
The Duchy of Limburg covered a very small area in the lower Lenne river valley.
After the Napoleonic Wars the area became part of Prussia and was integrated into the new province of Westphalia.
After World War II Westphalia was merged with the new federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Today, the Sauerland belongs to the districts Märkischer Kreis, Olpe and Hochsauerland.
The western part of the Hessian district Waldeck-Frankenberg is also attributed to the Sauerland because of its geomorphological as well as sociocultural similarity and the stark contrast to the rest of the adjoining Hessian landscape.
Today the Sauerland is a popular tourist area, attracting many visitors from the Ruhr Area and relatively close Netherlands.
The forests and picturesque small towns are attractive for hikers and outdoor sports.
There are more than 30,000 km of tagged hiking trails in Sauerland region maintained by Sauerland hiking association.
Some of the towns have the title Bad (Spa) because of their good air quality and stimulating climate.
Winter sports are popular in the Sauerland.
The bob sleigh track in Winterberg is widely known in Germany, as well as the ski jumping in Willingen.
Sauerland also has a successful theme park called Fort Fun.
Balve Cave is one of the biggest prehistorical caves of Europe and is situated in Balve.
The largest accessible limestone cave outside the Alps is in Attendorn.

Places to see in ( Bochum - Germany )
Bochum is a city in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany and part of the Arnsberg region. Bochum is located in the Ruhr area and is surrounded by the cities of Herne, Castrop-Rauxel, Dortmund, Witten, Hattingen, Essen and Gelsenkirchen.
The city lies on the low rolling hills of Bochum land ridge (Bochumer Landrücken), part of the Ruhrhöhen (highest elevations) between the Ruhr and Emscher rivers at the border of the southern and northern Ruhr coal region. The highest point of the city is at Kemnader Straße (Kemnader Street) in Stiepel at 196 metres above sea level; the lowest point is 43 metres at the Blumenkamp in Hordel.
Bochum is connected to the Autobahn network by the A 40, A 43 and A 44 autobahns. In addition, Bochum has a ring road, built to expressway standards, consisting of four segments; the Donezk, Oviedo, Nordhausen and Sheffield-Ring roads. It serves as a three-quarter loop around central Bochum and begins and ends at Autobahn A40. Bochum has a central station situated on the line from Duisburg to Dortmund, connecting the city to the long-distance network of Deutsche Bahn as well as to the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn network. Local service is supplied mainly by BOGESTRA, a joint venture handling transportation between the cities of Bochum and Gelsenkirchen. The Bochum Stadtbahn is a single underground line connecting the University of Bochum to Herne, and the Bochum/Gelsenkirchen tramway network is made up of several lines. As one of the few Ruhr area cities, Bochum is not directly connected with the German waterway net; the closest link is in the more northern located Herne at the Rhine-Herne Canal.

Sauerland- Arnsberg-Möhnessee-Germany.
Music from Blue light orchestra:
***************
Arnsberg is de historische toegangspoort tot het "Land der duizend bergen", het Sauerland. Hier kenmerken glooiende landschappen, heldere meren, groene bossen, sappige weilanden en keurige vakwerkhuizen het landschap. En ook Arnsberg stelt zich met zijn eigen stadsdelen en dorpen voor: romantisch, vol afwisseling en betrokken bij de natuur in een mooie, bosrijke omgeving.
**************************************************
Schlossruine Rond 1100 ontstond er op de huidige slotberg een burcht. Onder de bescherming daarvan vestigden zich gauw de eerste burgers. Na meermalige verbouwingen ontwikkelde het gebouw zich tot de residentie van de Keulse keurvorsten. Nog heden herinnert de ruïne aan zijn laatste prachtige uitbreiding, die ten tijde van de keurvorst Clemens-August von Wittelsbach volgens de plannen van de barokbouwmeester Johann Conrad Schlaun ontstond en tijdens de zevenjarige oorlog (1762) vernield werd.
**************************************************
Möhnesee is een stuwmeer in de Duitse deelstaat Noord-Rijnland-Westfalen en werd in de periode 1908 tot 1913 gebouwd. Het stuwmeer ligt in de gemeente Möhnesee in het district Soest.
In de nacht van 16 op 17 mei 1943 werden de stuwdammen aan de Möhne, Sorpe en Eder aangevallen. De Lancasters van de Royal Air Force gooiden speciale 4 ton zware bommen met een snelheid van 380 km/h 383 meter voor de muur af. Dat waren rolbommen die kort voor het afgooien op 500 toeren per minuut geroteerd werden, zo dat de bommen op het water in 60 meter lange sprongen huppelden, net zoals wij steentjes laten zeilen/stuiteren op het water. Zij sprongen over de vangnetten en troffen de muren. Aan de muur zorgde hun rotatie ervoor, dat de bommen langs de muur naar beneden rollen, tot op 10 meter onder water. Hier ontploften zij dan en scheurden enorme gaten in de muren. De bom aan de Möhnedam scheurde op 17 mei 1943 om 00:49 uur een gat van 22 meter diepte en 77 meter breedte. Binnen de 12 uur vloeiden 116 000 000 kubieke meter (88%) uit het stuwmeer in het achterliggende land. In het dal van de Möhne kwam een 10 meter hoge vloedgolf tot stand. Na 25 uren kwam het water in de Rijn aan, die zelfs ook nog een vloedgolf te verduren kreeg. De verwoestende kracht was tot kort na Hattingen te zien. Alle bruggen, huizen,... tot op een afstand van meer dan 50 km werden vernield.
