September 5, 2026, Balver Höhle

The naturally formed karst cave has been used by humans since the early Stone Age — an important archaeological site up to the Middle Ages. According to Germanic legend, handed down in the Icelandic Thidrekssaga, the mythical blacksmith Wieland came to this cave to learn his magical craft from the dwarf masters living there.

The Balver Kulturhöhle impresses right from the first step: a gigantic natural dome, up to eleven meters high, which has been used since the Old Stone Age and is today considered an extraordinary event venue. Where Neanderthals and cave bears once found shelter, you can now experience concerts, theater, and the traditional Schützenfest (marksmen's festival) in an acoustics that is second to none. The cave is only accessible as part of events or guided tours, but a glance at the mighty entrance is enough to reveal why it fascinates as Europe's largest open hall cave. https://www.sauerland.com/de/neusta-pois/balver-hoehle-europas-groesste-kulturhoehle

On the edge of the Balver Wald forest, Schloss Wocklum lies like a quiet ensemble of moats, courtyard buildings, and baroque facade. The traditional estate, with its old avenues and the nearby Luisenhütten area, appears as a calm counterpoint to the surrounding high-altitude trails. It is a good choice for an atmospheric stopover - steeped in history, rural, and wonderfully embedded in the Sauerland cultural landscape.
