A washed-out ravine leads to the Kahler Asten. There are dense blueberry bushes to the right and left. A really nice atmosphere.

Heathland at the Kahler Asten

Highlight • Natural

The Kahle Asten with its high plateau and heathland is always worth a visit - no matter what the weather or what time of year! You are guaranteed wide views of the Sauerland.

The Kahle Asten is the third highest mountain in the Rothaargebirge but certainly the best known, as it is located directly at the famous tourist destination Winterberg. He is 841 meters high and no matter where you come from, this means a long, crisp climb. But it's worth it: Upstairs not only a great view awaits you (from the branch tower, it is even better, from here you can see in clear weather to Brocken in the Harz!), But also a hotel with a restaurant. And of course a madness descent!

June 8, 2024,Ausblick vom Kahlen Asten – Kahler Asten Runde von Altastenberg

In very nice weather we went from Altasternberg up to the Kahler Asten and then down through a really beautiful landscape back to the car park. The view from the Kahler Asten is gigantic. I would only recommend the tour itself for hikers with good stamina and sturdy shoes.

This is a nice, sometimes demanding, round.
