Kahler Asten" excursion destination
32 minutes by car or 22.4 kilometers from the hotel.
You can experience a picture-perfect panoramic view from the Kahler Asten, the second highest mountain in NRW. In every direction, the expanse of the Sauerland region is revealed from the 841-meter-high mountain as a beautiful view into the distance - on a clear day, even up to 100 kilometers away.
In addition to the fabulous view, you will discover here a beautiful heath landscape, which you will discover on meandering trails . More precisely, the heath landscape 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 heath.
The following plants are mainly found in the heath landscape of the Kahler Asten:
- Heather
- Borstgrass
- Dwarf shrubs like blueberries and broom
