Hillershausen amid hiking trails, culture and winter sports in the surrounding area
Accommodation in Hillershausen
Winter destinations in the surrounding area
The winter sports areas of Winterberg and Willingen are part of the leisure activities in the vicinity of Hillershausen. A leisure park is located in neighboring Medebach; the Edersee includes its castle and its massive dam. Those wishing to combine these destinations with a stay in Hillershausen can plan them as excursion destinations in the surrounding area. Winter sports, the leisure park and the Edersee can be considered as separate focal points.
Meadows, forests and hiking trails
Around Hillershausen, green meadows and forests with well-marked hiking trails in a natural landscape with a low-mountain climate invite visitors to hike, go horseback riding and relax. You can plan your own route along the marked trails through open meadows and wooded sections. Hiking and horseback riding remain separate options within the local landscape.
The route to the Sauerland Höhenflug
A hiking trail from Hillershausen reaches Nieder-Schleidern and the Sauerland Höhenflug after approximately 1 km. This is a 250 km long long-distance hiking trail from Korbach in the east to Meinerzhagen in the west. Those planning a shorter route can allow for the approximately 1 km section to Nieder-Schleidern. For a longer hike, the course of the Sauerland Höhenflug between Korbach and Meinerzhagen can be planned as a long-distance hiking trail. The two distances represent different sections of the route: approximately 1 km to Nieder-Schleidern and 250 km for the long-distance hiking trail.
View from the NS3 hiking trail
After approximately 300 m, the NS3 hiking trail offers an impressive view across the Waldecker Land and towards the Land of a Thousand Mountains. The value of approximately 300 m remains an estimate. Those dividing the NS3 into a short section can include the distance to the viewpoint in their own route planning.
The loop along the Aar
The Aarmühle Circular Route 2, “At the rushing waters of the Aar,” passes Aarmühle and follows the Aar to the Aarschröder farmstead. The loop also follows a small path uphill to a forest track at Kleiner Korskopf. It ends at the edge of the forest with a panoramic view. The route therefore includes a section along the water, the ascent to the forest track and the finish at the edge of the forest. For hike planning, these different sections can be considered one after another.
St. Michael’s Church and the Star Trail
The Catholic Church of St. Michael is a replacement building on the outskirts of Hillershausen and was built between 1935 and 1937. Hillershausen has the “In God’s Footsteps” Star Trail. It leads to three further wayside crosses. Those interested in culture can therefore consider a church building and a trail to additional crosses as different local topics in Hillershausen.
Nature-focused guided tour
A nature-focused guided tour is offered in Hillershausen. The meeting point is the car park at the Hillershausen multi-purpose hall.
