FUN outdoor activities to do in Sauerland, North Rhine-Westfalia


Looking for nature and fun outdoor in the NRW region? Then Sauerland is the place to be !

My Destination Challenges in Sauerland helped me discover the beautiful lake 'Möhnesee' aka 'Westfalisches Meer' and the hills of Winterberg where I went mini golfing and mountain biking at Erlebnisberg Kappe.

It's needless to say that I spent an active day.



You can watch everything in the following YouTube video and photos below.



Paddle boating at Möhnesee


The lake is perfect for spending time with friends and family on the water. There are several places where you can rent a kayak, paddle boat, motor boat or a sail boat. My challenge here was to cross the lake in a boat of my choosing.

I thought a paddle boat would probably be the easiest and fastest but boy was I wrong. They only had a paddle boat for 4 people and you can imagine that you have to paddle a bit harder to make it across :-).

The glowing hills of Sauerland


Driving Rose on the winding roads of Sauerland hills was pure joy. You feel like gliding through the landscape. Ideal if you like to cruise through nature.

Fun at Erlebnisberg Kappe


I made my way to Winterberg where I found the 'Erlebnisberg Kappe'.

It's like an amusement park that offers all kind of activities. There was a BMX and luge circuit which gets the adrenaline pumping and I got challenged to a full blown mini golf competition. :-)

I lost...

Yup. I lost... Will have to train some more :-)
To forget about my horrible defeat we decided to go mountain biking in the area around Erlebnisberg Kappe.

Man... was I out of shape. The fun part of mountain biking is definitely the racing down the mountain through the forest! You can watch us in action in the YouTube video at the top of this post ;-)
