Schmallenberg

Schmallenberg occupies the upper valley of the Lenne in North Rhine-Westphalia’s Sauerland, where the wooded ridges of the Rothaargebirge surround a municipality of small districts and hamlets. The Lenne is a headwater tributary of the Ruhr, connecting this upland setting with the wider Ruhr basin. Timber-framed houses and the parish church of St Alexander give the centre a distinctly Westphalian character. The former Benedictine Abbey of Grafschaft, founded in the 11th century, adds another historic layer nearby. Forest paths, cycling routes and winter-sports areas across the Sauerland make Schmallenberg a useful base for exploring the region.
