Winterberg, Winter sports resort in Hochsauerlandkreis, Germany.
Located at an elevation of 668 meters, Winterberg extends across forests and meadows with 500 kilometers of marked hiking trails through mountains and valleys.
The settlement received city rights around 1270 from Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden, leading to increased protection for inhabitants of neighboring communities during medieval times.
The Winter Sports Museum in Neuastenberg presents exhibitions about regional sports traditions while preserving local heritage through educational programs and guided tours.
Visitors can access multiple accommodation options, from hotels to holiday apartments, along with sports facilities including ski jumps and the Veltins-EisArena bobsleigh track.
The Kappe adventure mountain features Europe's leading zip line system, where participants descend steep slopes while observing panoramic views of the Sauerland region.
