Area description Diemelsee-Heringhausen in
Sauerland
The nature and holiday region of Diemelsee is located in the idyllic
north Hessian mountains on the edge of the beautiful Sauerland and
not far from the tourist strongholds of Willingen and Winterberg. The
pearl of the Hochsauerland! It is one of the most popular holiday
regions in Germany for family and active holidaymakers. In an almost
untouched natural landscape, nestled in the mountains of the
Hochsauerland, Lake Diemel attracts countless water sports
enthusiasts and nature lovers every year. Whether cycling, hiking,
fishing, bathing, sailing or diving: Lake Diemelsee offers wonderful
opportunities to enjoy a varied, healthy and fun holiday.
In summer, leisurely hiking or cycling trails around Lake Diemel with
interesting recreational facilities and sights make for eventful days.
Enjoy carefree bathing fun with excellent water quality at the
numerous lidos, explore the charming landscape of the low mountain
region in the Diemelsee Nature Park on foot or by mountain bike on
the certified quality hiking trail Diemelsteig.
In winter, you can quickly reach the well-known winter sports areas
of Willingen and Winterberg. Whether downhill or cross-country
skiing, tobogganing, ice skating or winter hiking; the region offers our
holiday guests an extensive winter sports programme. In the
Willingen ski area you will find 17 km of perfectly groomed slopes,
modern lifts, floodlit skiing and one of the longest ski runs in the
Sauerland (2 km). For cross-country skiing there are almost 100 km
of groomed trails for all target groups - 6 trails are certified by the
DSV.
In addition, the immediate surroundings with great cafés, restaurants
and bars invite you to enjoyable and entertaining evenings. In the
summer season, the nearby wellness swimming pool at Aqua Mundo-
Park Hochsauerland in Medebach is a great place to spend cool days.
Directly below the holiday village, you can enjoy yourself in the family
pool Heringhausen in 31 degree warm water with indoor and outdoor
areas, sunbathing lawn, children's landscape and sauna area.
Already on the last kilometres to the Diemelsee, you will notice how
you leave everyday life, stress and hectic behind. Once you reach your
destination, you will find a unique offer for family, friends and couples.
Here you can be equally active or simply unwind and recharge your
batteries. The attractive mix of water and mountains, recreation and
being active offers many options to experience something new every
day. The exposed location in the low mountain range makes the winter
season a highlight in addition to the summer season.
