Olsberg, Health resort in Hochsauerland district, Germany
Olsberg extends across 117 square kilometers of forest-covered terrain, with the Ruhr River flowing through valleys surrounded by mountains reaching 560 meters.
The municipality emerged through the 1975 reorganization of North Rhine-Westphalia, merging Bigge-Olsberg with several municipalities from Bigge and Bestwig districts.
The twelve villages of Olsberg maintain German traditions through regular festivals celebrating regional food, music, and crafts across four distinct valleys.
Two train stations provide hourly connections while extensive hiking trails and bicycle paths connect all sections of the municipality to natural attractions.
More than 50 mountains above 500 meters exist within Olsberg's boundaries, including Heinrichsdorf, the highest settlement at 630 meters elevation.
