Kahler Asten" excursion destination
32 minutes by car or 22.4 kilometers from the hotel.
Experience a picture-book panoramic view from the Kahlen Asten, the second highest mountain in NRW. From the 841-metre-high mountain, the vastness of the Sauerland can be seen in every direction as a wonderful view into the distance - even up to 100 kilometers away on a clear day.
In addition to the fabulous view, you will discover a beautiful heathland here, which you can explore on meandering hiking trails. To be more precise, the heathland is a dwarf shrub heath on which hardly any trees grow. Regular sheep grazing ensures that tree seedlings are browsed by the sheep. This is also supported here by manual maintenance of the heathland.
The following plants are mainly found in the heathland of the Kahler Asten:
- Heather
- Bristle grass
- Dwarf shrubs such as blueberries and broom
