Ein Rundumblick wie aus dem Bilderbuch erleben Sie vom Kahlen Asten, dem zweithöchsten Berg NRWs. In jede Richtung zeigt sich die Weite des Sauerlands vom 841 Metern hohen Berg als wunderschöner Blick in die Ferne - bei klarer Sicht sogar bis zum 100 Kilometer weit.

View from Kahler Asten over the heathland to the hills of the Sauerland region

In addition to the fabulous view, you will discover a beautiful heathland landscape that you can explore on winding hiking trails. More specifically, the heathland is a dwarf shrub heath with hardly any trees. Regular sheep grazing ensures that tree seedlings are eaten by the sheep. This is also supported by manual maintenance of the heath.
