Hiking

the small alleys with stairs invite you to climb the castle hill. Here it is always amazing how the little space is used for living. Old houses (sometimes in good condition, sometimes less) along the paths

Beautiful old half-timbered houses in Altena's old town. Unfortunately, some of them are not well maintained and in places appear run-down.
