Brilon

Few cities in North Rhine-Westphalia have a history as closely tied to Hanseatic trade as Brilon. Set in the Sauerland uplands, it lies near the source of the Möhne, a tributary of the Ruhr, amid extensive woodland. Brilon belonged to the Hanseatic League, and its central market square retains the civic focus of a medieval trading town, with the Rathaus and the parish church of St Peter and Andrew among its landmarks. The Rothaarsteig long-distance trail begins here, leading south through the Rothaar Mountains towards Hesse.
