    The largest and most beautiful forest area in the region.

      The Haard is the largest contiguous forest area in (or on) the Ruhr area. The Haard is ideal for hiking and cycling.
      You should have a mountain bike or trekking bike. (The ground in the Haard is soft and sandy)
      You should also know that the Haard is relatively hilly.
      There is the Haard Walking Park, there are seven routes and about 50km
      There is a great forest nature trail past the St. Johannes Cross, the Roman fountain and a tunnel entrance.
      In Flaesheim there is a great forest playground and the charcoal kiln from May 1st.
      There are several observation towers (fire watchtower)
      My destination was the forest restaurant Mutter Wehner (there is a hiking car park there)
      There is another nice location by Mutter Wehner about 5.0 km by bike across the forest
      The Waldhaus Halter Pforte
      I hope you have fun exploring the Haard, it's worth it.
