The Schwalenburg: This prehistoric hill fort with three rings of ramparts likely dates from the late 8th to 10th centuries. The fortification encompasses an area of ​​six hectares and is one of the most impressive prehistoric fortifications in Central Europe. The complex has a diameter of 300 meters and approximately 1700 meters of ring walls.

Our tip: Visit the Schwalenburg Castle's ring wall and the small observation tower. Incidentally, this is one of the five Sauerland "soul places" (Sauerland Seelenorte). Learn more at www.sauerland-seelenorte.de.
