Felsenmeer Hemer

The most important attraction in the Balver forest and in the city of Hemer is the Felsenmeer in the immediate vicinity of the Sauerlandpark!

 Already designated as a nature reserve since 1962, the Felsenmeer was "promoted" to one of the 77 national geotopes in 2006. In addition to the Bruchhauser stones near Olsberg, it is the only national geotope in the Sauerland region.

The impressive boulders, ravines and faults have their origin partly in the formation of caves and their collapse and in the centuries-long iron ore mining.

Very impressive rock formations with ravines and faults. Leaving the marked trails is prohibited and very dangerous, as crevices are often hidden under leaves and branches.
