Küstelberg

Highlight • Settlement

Great village and starting point for many a hike. The Orke spring is not far from the town center. And if you are here, you should definitely try the Sauerland cake in Café Astenblick!

Highlight • Monument

A sculpture on the way to Küstelberg. Unfortunately I have not found any information about who the sculpture is and what it should represent.

Viewpoint Am Hillekopf

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, hikers on the Sauerland-Höhenflug have a nice look back at the stages completed so far. In the distance you can see, among other things, the Astentrum on the Kahler Asten.
