The Luisenhütte is one of my top five places in the Sauerland because I love industrial culture. It is the oldest completely preserved blast furnace plant in Europe, and therefore something very special. In the hut tavern we also take care of the physical well-being. Currently, because of Covid-19, only cold drinks and snacks are sold.

Very interesting museum that shows how iron was made in the past. Next door is also a museum for prehistory and early history!
