    A lot of half-timbered houses await you in the historic center of Oberkirchen. A charming village where you can relax after your hike. Oberkirchen is a district of Schmallenberg.

      The many craftsmen's houses charm many visitors to Oberkirchen.
      Fragment from our hiking holiday Hochsauerland.

      Last day “Dessert walk”
      Admire a tour of 'Vakmanshuizen'…
      During our last supper, we muse about our successful holiday week.
      To conclude that we have not yet visited the idyllic villages where we often drove last week.
      After a stormy, chilly day of walking we did a short dessert walk.
      Oberkirchen charmed us and also received the necessary attention from us.
      A short visit is fascinating. A long tiring and by the way we already had enough kilometers on our counter today.
      You can't start more centrally than at the village church, God's ways may be inscrutable, but our trust is placed on the Komoot App. The Komoot Community takes us along several highlights. (For what then to the makers of these special locations).
      On our short walk we were able to enjoy gems of old 'Vakmanshuizen'.
      'Craftsmanship is mastery' is appropriate here.
      We enjoyed our dessert walk.
      Hoch Sauerland 😊 I would definitely go back there. Of course with my adventurous wife. It's been worth it. We really enjoyed it.

      Triggered or curious about other adventures?
      All our hiking experiences can be found in my Hochsauerland collection.
      Have fun watching and reading.

        It is a very beautiful half-timbered village with good restaurants.

              Very nice hiking area here. The place is very well maintained and consists of many beautiful half-timbered houses.

                Oberkirchen belongs to the town of Schmallenberg and is located about eight kilometers from the town center in the Lenne Valley. The town was first mentioned in documents in 1275. Worth a visit are, for example, the Witches' Square on the Forest Sculpture Trail and the watermill.
