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.

GERMANY: Soest town [HD]
Soest has a multitude of historical buildings. The many medieval churches are build from a greenish sandstone unique to this area. Rows of delightful half-timbered houses and romantic lanes give the old town centre its unmistakable character.
One of the few remaining representative Baroque buildings is the Rathaus (Town Hall) with its arcade of nine arches on its west side. A statue of St Patroclus, the patron saint of the town, looks down from above this arcade. At the back of this Baroque building is the newer part of the Rathaus which formerly housed a grammar school. The complete building complex encloses a leafy courtyard in which open-air performances take place.
Directly next to the Rathaus rises the tower of the Patrokli-Minster (The Tower of Westphalia). This Romanesque building dates from after 965 AD when it was founded as a collegiate church.
Two thirds of the town walls and their dry moats have been preserved and a walk along them is particularly inviting in April and May when the trees are in full bloom.
Among the old specialties of Soest are the Möppkenbread and the Pumpernickel. The Bakery Haverland at the town center, has existed since 1570. A newer specialty is the Bullenauge (Bull's eye), a mocha liquor, sold mostly at the Allerheiligenkirmes. Another specialty of Soest is the Soester Beer, also called Zwiebel-Bier, which literally translates as Onion beer, because it's brewed since 1993 in the Zwiebel (Onion) inn.
As a Hanseatic town, Soest played a crucial role in the structure of medieval Germany and it was the merchants of Soest who made a decisive contribution to the formation of the powerful Hanseatic League.
Soest is located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is the capital of the Soest district. The district covers the northern part of the Sauerland hills.

Soest Germany (HD)
Soest is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is the capital of the Soest district. After Lippstadt, a neighbouring town, Soest is the second biggest town in its district.
Because of the fertile soil the area around Soest was occupied long before 836 when the village is first mentioned in the Dagobertsche Schenkung, although the origin of this document is historically uncertain. But there is no doubt that Soest has been inhabited for a long time; excavations in the last two decades have uncovered signs of habitation stretching back more than 4000 years. In the 11th and 12th century Soest grew considerably, making it one of the biggest towns in Westphalia with some 10,000 citizens.
Soest has a multitude of historical buildings and attractions. The many medieval churches are build from a greenish sandstone unique to this area.
Among the old specialties of Soest are the Möppkenbread and the Pumpernickel. The Bakery Haverland at the town center, former royal Bavarian court supplier of the dark bread, has existed since 1570. Another specialty of Soest is the Soester Beer, also called Zwiebel-Bier(or Giebels-Bier) which literally translates as Onion beer, because it's brewed since 1993 in the Zwiebel (Onion) inn.
Scootertouren Sauerland 2016 kleine Strassen sind am schönsten Teil 3
Ein neuer Film von unserer Scootertour durchs Sauerland und das Rothaargebirge Anfang September 2016. Am Samstagmorgen ging es in der Gruppe zusammen nach Westen. Und wie ist es so herrlich: alles auf kleinen Straßen.
Links, rechts, links, rechts, schwingen sie dahin. Meist ohne Mittelstreifen. Praktisch ohne Gegenverkehr. Ein einziger Kurvenspaß, wie geschaffen für uns. So haben wir das Sauerland bzw. Rothaargebirge gleich in den ersten Fahrminuten ins Herz geschlossen. Und so kurvig ging es den ganzen Tag weiter. Perfekt!
