Willingen

Built around an upland farming settlement, Willingen grew into one of Hesse’s best-known year-round mountain resorts. It lies in the Upland section of the Rothaar Mountains, where the 837-metre Ettelsberg rises above the town and carries the Hochheideturm observation tower. Willingen is closely associated with winter sport: the Mühlenkopfschanze ski-jumping hill hosts regular FIS Ski Jumping World Cup competitions and is among the world’s largest hills of its type. Hiking, cycling and Nordic skiing extend the season beyond snow. See how Willingen belongs to the wider Upland and Rothaar Mountains by browsing webcams nearby.
