    Tips

    Altena Castle, built from the 12th century, is one of the most beautiful hilltop castles in Germany. The world's first permanent youth hostel opened here in 1914. The monument of national importance can be reached quickly and barrier-free with the adventure elevator. Once at the top, it is worth taking a tour of the County Mark Museum. A gastronomy and an active DJH youth hostel complete the offer.

        The approach from the rear side is tough. There is no battery charging station at the top
