The hiking cabs in the Schmallenberg Sauerland take you to the most beautiful stages and routes. Plan your day tour or relaxed circular hike through the beautiful landscape of the Schmallenberger Sauerland and the vacation region Eslohe. Holders of the Schmallenberger Sauerland Card pay a fare of €2 for adults and €1 for children.
When headwinds and inclines dampen your mood, the push of a button can change everything. It switches on a quiet, environmentally friendly electric motor that intervenes to provide support, depending on how steep the incline is and how much assistance you have set. E-bikes have conquered cycle tourism in the land of a thousand mountains. Joint cycling excursions for people with different levels of fitness have become a fun, nature-oriented vacation experience for everyone. Try it out for yourself. E-biking is really easy and great fun!
