Tips
The not quite 220 kilometers long Ruhr rises in the Rothaargebirge, about three to four kilometers from the center of Winterberg. Among other things, the long-distance hiking trail Rothaarsteig leads past the Ruhrquelle. From here you can also walk on the Ruhrhöhenweg the entire Ruhr to the mouth near Duisburg-Ruhrort in the Rhine. The Ruhrtal cycle path also starts at the Ruhrquelle. And in winter there is a small ski area here. The associated Ruhrquellen hut is usually open all year round.
