Sauerland Soul Places – these are cliffs and quarries, churches and mountain peaks, mighty trees and underground grottos, lakes and valleys. 43 locations, spread across the Sauerland hiking villages, were selected because they are particularly impressive and hold special significance for the people in their surroundings. Not only today, but also in earlier times. They touch people emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. They evoke strong resonances. They are places where people hike and where they can unwind. Find themselves. Enjoy the peace and quiet. Be inspired. Gain new insights. Even though each soul place tells its own story, there is one quality that unites them all: vibrant silence.
