Schmallenberg - City
The former Hanseatic City Schmallenberg has the probably most beautiful cityscape in the Sauerland and invites you to a stroll around the city. However, the town, which is characterized by slates, did not look like this historically.
In 1822, a great fire destroyed almost the entire city. During reconstruction, the townscape was considerably modified as it is today. The reconstruction took place in Prussian Classicism. Since then, the town has been formed by two parallel main roads, which are regularly connected by transverse roads and the two main streets have been extended to protect against possible fires.
Schmallenberg is one of the most important cultural landscapes in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Kahler Asten-Steig - Dream tour in the Sauerland
Who committed it usually says that the bald Asten-Steig the most beautiful day hiking tour in Sauerland is. It is a premium hiking trail - and beyond Dream Tour 2017 certified by the German Hiking Association.
Start and finish point of the 16 km long medium-sized circular trailit is the park of WestfeldThe Astensteig always leads to the top of Kahlen Asten along Schmallenberg's urban area, which is why it is a Schmallenberg hiking trail.
At first, we take a narrow path uphill to the barbecue area and continue along the valley hiking trail to Ohlenbach. Now the path leads into the valley of Schwarzen-Siep, a nature reserve with the new climbing bridge that spans a small biotope. Afterwards, we go uphill through a Kyrill area and over a piping path to the hunting huts.
An old hollow path leads us now steeply up the mountain through a small gorge, past a small quarry, to the peak of the hike, the Asten Plateau with high heat and fantastic views into the land of the 1000 mountains. The Astenhaus offers itself for a stop before it goes downhill again past the Lennequelle into the young Lennetal.
Half way up, the path branches off behind the fish ponds towards Hoher Bone. Through high spruce and beech forests, it goes towards the bone tip. Arriving at the top, we again have a wonderful view over the expanses of Schmallenberg Sauerland.
From here, you will pass a narrow path and a forest path downhill to the Hotel Hoher Knechen with St. Elisbeth Chapel and Kneipp Basin further back towards Westfeld, where you will pass a narrow root path, past the cross-country skiing centre back to the Westfelder Park, where you can end a dreamlike hiking day.
The Astensteig is a challenging hiking trail and with its 570 altitude meters demands quite condition. Lowest point is 493m, highest point is at 841m. Pure walking time approx. 5-6 hours.
