The Haard is one of the largest contiguous forest areas on the northern edge of the Ruhr area. It is part of the Hohe Mark Nature Park. Highlights are the Teufelssteine on the Stimberg and the Brinksknapp, a small moor and wetland that is a nature reserve. Well-signposted hiking routes such as the Hohe Mark Steig or the exciting Haardgrenzweg.
