The Sound Forest on Lake Möhnee
An experience for the senses! On the 3.5 km long circular path in the Arnsberg forest, 10 stations with sound art objects encourage you to actively experience the forest.
Whether by the wind or by human hands, the unique sounds of the detailed instruments ensure that the visitor sits up and perceives his environment more consciously. Hardly anyone can resist trying string instruments like the standing harp or the tree harp. They generate pleasant sounds, even from the most unmusical visitors.
The sound forest is the result of an idea contest organised by the Ministry of Environment and Nature Protection, Agriculture and Consumer Protection in 2007 between nature parks North Rhine-Westphalia. The Arnsberger Wald nature park successfully applied for the contribution "Mythos Wald" and the corresponding project "Klangwald" and received the first place.
It starts at the excursion restaurant Torhaus Möhnee, where there are also plenty of parking spaces.

Karl May - Festival in Elspe
Karl May - Festival in ElspeSince 1958, 12 million visitors have seen one of the Karl May performances in Lennestadt-Elspe at one of the largest outdoor stages in Germany.
Winnetou fans from all over Europe came from 1976 to 1986, when the movie Winnetou Pierre Brice The main role played in Elspe and the Elspe festival with 400,000 visitors each year became the Karl May Mecca. The Western Railway, which has been steaming since 1975, is still spectacular and continues to drive on its own course over the stage and through the festival grounds. Since then, Elspe has been an institution between the most important European festival stages.
The open-air platform has 4,000 covered seats. The imposing roof structure has the same architectural style as that of the Munich Olympic Park. Around the open-air stage, a Western adventure park has been created, but without attractions, but with thematic demonstrations.
The performances of about 2 hours start at about 2.30 p.m. (admission from 10.00 p.m.) and evening events at 8.15 p.m. (admission from 5.15 p.m.). Prior to the performance, the festival grounds offer a comprehensive support and pre-programme of more than an hour with acrobatics, stunts, horse show and red music on the festival grounds.The festival character is given and a visit to Elspe is a full day experience. There are also several dining options, e.g. a typical "American BBQ" and a replica of "Sloppy Joebies Coffee-Bar." After the event a tour behind the scenes is offered.
Tip: If you want to take the entire support program and have lunch there, the extra price for the Elspe Experience Pass (EE Pass) can be interesting because & drinking at long events can cost money.

Full-One Lasertag Winterberg
Here sports, games, fun & action are offered at a futuristic level! With our gigantic hallway and special lighting effects we offer you the ultimate environment to blow off steam with your friends or just on a laser day.
Hoe works laser tag, what should be taken into account and is it dangerous?
You move, run, dive... on the track and it also requires a little stamina. Obstacles can be removed with the laser gun - but you can also be hit yourself. If the rules of the game are respected, laser gaming is not dangerous. As with any recreational sport, of course, minor injuries can occur with laser tag. Lasergamen is a sporty activity that should not be underestimated. People who have no strenuous or athletic activity by a doctor should not play. The beam of light in the phaser is harmless to the eyes, even when wearing glasses or contact lenses. It only serves as an optical orientation tool. The actual technical detection works via infrared sensors (such as a remote control for the TV, only much more precise).Comfortable or sporty clothing and non-slip, flat shoes are recommended.Here wird Sport, Spiel, Spaß & Action auf futuristem Level boated! Mit unserer giganteschen Halle und spezielen Leuchteffekten beets wir dir die ultimate Umgebung um dich mit deinen Freunden oder auch alleine in Lasertag auszutoben.

Luisenhütte Balve - Adventure Museum
The Luisenhütte is a monument of national importanceEarly industrial melting technology can be experienced here. Unique for Germany, a complete steel plant complex with iron foundries and surroundings can be viewed in the Louisenhütte. The Luisenhütte was put into operation in 1732 and was put out of use in 1865 when the new large blast furnaces in the Ruhr area no longer allowed the economic functioning of the Luisenhütte as part of industrialization.It's a little miracle that the Luisenhütte survived in its original state for a century after the decommissioning and was never broken down, making it so unique and valuable as a technical monument today.
At the active adventure museum in the lovingly restored Luisenhütte visitors themselves lift the wheelbarrows full of iron ore, charcoal and limestone. At the top of the blast furnace heat radiators generate authentic heat. A historical sound film shows that the oven is filled from above by the waiters. The tapping of the pig iron on the open stove is effectively simulated by means of light staging and further heat radiators and cutouts from the film: the glowing iron is now flowing into the bed of the barrage. In the blower house, the water wheel can be started loudly with piston blower and blower steam machine. In the foundry, further lighting installations convey impressions from melting furnaces and a casting of gears and other cast parts that have just taken place.
Furthermore, break rooms and the apartment of former servants are shown, where the film "Fire Stream of Iron" and interactive computer simulation deepen the experience. Four models explain and compare the most important melting techniques and their development since the Middle Ages.
Technology playground "Little Luise" at the Luisenhütte
For children there is the new technology playground, which again takes up many elements of the hut museum. In this way children can relate in a playful way to the production process of the hut. Luisenhütte

The region offers bikers everything their heart desires and in the evening the party mile in Willingen offers plenty of après-bike' options on weekends.
Loud is out!
The 10 trips from the Sauerland Roadbook lead along the most beautiful places in the Sauerland, which is why other tourists and people looking for relaxation, especially on the many recreational lakes, often suffer from engine noise, not only guests but also many Sauerlanders who live on the typical motor routes.
That is why noise-sensitive consideration of motorcyclists is essential, so that there will be no road closures for motorcyclists in the future!
Set a visible (and audible) sign against engine noise - loud is off!
performance:
Most motorcyclists in the Sauerland are attentive and avoid fast driving in places and in sound-sensitive tourist locations. Be a role model for the minority that does not do so and address your ruthless colleagues accordingly!

Wisent - Wilderness on the Rothaarsteig
A unique nature conservation project of international importance - and an impressive experience, not just for families!The Wisent (European bison) is considered extinct in Central and Southern Europe for about 500 years and only a small population remained in North-East Europe. The last wild buffalo was shot in the Caucasus in 1927. All bison nowadays comes from only twelve animals that are cared for/bred in zoos and animal parks. In 1952, the first bison was re-introduced in the Polish/White Russian Bialowieza National Park through release, the population of which has now grown to almost 2,000 animals.
In 2013, an 8-headed bison herd was released into the forests of the devoted Count von Seyn-Wittgenstein around Bad Berleburg in the Rothaar Mountains. For the first time in half a millennium, copies of the shy, soft giants are free on German territory.
In the Wisent Wilderness on the Rothaarsteig, a second herd can be observed at close range on a 20 ha protected outskirts.
An almost 3km long adventure path opens the outdoor space. Security and hiking boots are required, because the adventurous hiking trail leads through deliberately natural terrain with unpaved paths, streams, climbs and an open field. The path is protected by a fence in the outdoor area and takes about 2 hours, because it takes some patience and calm to spot the largest land zoogull in Europe. Dogs are not allowed in the area!
The Wisent Wilderness includes a nature information centre with a natural experience area for children.
