Hiking

The Aplerbeck Forest has two great features for a city hiker: quickly accessible nature experiences and well-marked trails.

Schwerte, first mentioned in 962 and granted city status in 1397, is a historically significant Hanseatic city on the Ruhr River in the Unna district. Known as "Pannekauken-Schwaierte" (after the hardship of the Thirty Years' War), it developed from a medieval agricultural town into a modern industrial center with a historic core, thanks to metal processing and its role as a railway hub (Deutsche Nickel AG).
