A visit to the beautiful town of Willingen in North Hessen is always a pleasure as you can enjoy it at many different levels. To start with, we recommend checking out the lay of the land from the Hochheide tower or the Mühlenkopf ski jump and then venturing underground and exploring the Christine visitor mine.Hochheide tower in Willingen
The highest vantage point in north-western Germany can be reached using the Ettelsberg chairlift or on foot via one of the many marked trails around Willingen. The views over the Upper Sauerland and the Waldecker Land region can be enjoyed at any time of the year.Mühlenkopf ski jump
The world's largest ski jump is located at the base of the Rothaargebirge hills. This is where the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup takes place every winter in front of tens of thousands of spectators. Mühlenkopf ski jump can be visited the whole year round, not just during the ski jumping season, and in the summer it is the venue for many open-air concerts."Christine" slate mine
In 1971 this 19th century slate mine ceased production and was then opened to the public. The huge mining chamber never ceases to amaze visitors. Expert guided tours make a visit to the mine an unforgettable experience, but remember to bring a warm jacket!
