Menden

Menden is best known within North Rhine-Westphalia for its long-established metalworking industry. The town lies on the Hönne, where the low, wooded hills of the Sauerland begin to rise from the Ruhr’s eastern fringe. South of the centre, the Hönnetal follows the river through limestone country associated with caves and striking rock formations. Menden’s historic core is marked by the Catholic parish church of St. Vincenz, while its setting places urban industry close to the rural landscapes of the Märkischer Kreis. This contrast gives the town a distinct role between the Ruhr area and the Sauerland. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Menden and the Sauerland.
