Sports hotel in North Rhine-Westphalia

Active vacation at the DIEDRICH Wellness Hotel & Spa

Who else knows this feeling? The invigorating feeling after climbing a hill while hiking. The gentle cooling down after a pleasantly strenuous hour of yoga. Or the feeling of happiness after a cold shower when we have given our all while cycling. Sport and exercise are essential aspects of positive well-being – and are also considered one of the pillars of wellness. That's why at our sports hotel in North Rhine-Westphalia, the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa (4-star superior) in the beautiful Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia, you can enjoy an active break that will make your heart beat faster – in both senses of the word.

Pure water – swimming in two pools

Indoor and outdoor

Two swimming pools at our sports hotel in North Rhine-Westphalia invite you to enjoy soothing water experiences. The 20-meter-long infinity outdoor pool is perfect for swimming laps. From the edge of the pool, you can look out over the beautiful Hallenberg Valley, while at the other end of the pool you can enjoy the water flowing from the massage jets in the seating area. The indoor pool, which is slightly reminiscent of a Roman thermal bath thanks to its columns, is 12 meters long and is therefore also suitable for exercise in the water. The aqua fitness class always takes place here in the morning.

Walking and hiking

Discover the Sauerland on foot

The beautiful landscape surrounding our sports hotel in North Rhine-Westphalia is ideal for excursions—either on your own or as a guided hike as part of our activity program.

We have put together a few hiking routes for you that will take you along paved paths through forests, meadows, and fields. The Hochsauerland landscape inspires with its diversity. You will discover high-altitude hay meadows swaying gently in the wind, cows and sheep grazing contentedly, and beautiful fields that are lovingly tended by farmers. With a little luck, in the morning and evening hours you may also spot wild hares and deer, who – just like us – enjoy life in beautiful Hallenberg.
