Hiking still possible despite African swine fever in wild boars

The outbreak of African swine fever in wild boars in the Kirchhundem area does not restrict hiking in Lennestadt & Kirchhundem. As before, entering the forest is only permitted on marked hiking trails and dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. The animal disease is not transmissible to humans and therefore poses no danger to people. Here you will find frequently asked questions and answers from the district of Olpe.

Winter light

Even without snow, there is plenty to discover in Lennestadt & Kirchhundem: valleys, hills, towers, views, special culinary experiences. Photographer Klaus-Peter Kappest has captured these very special experiences in the Sauerland hiking villages with impressive pictures and has some tips for winter excursions and hikes.
