Hiking connects all generations: Put on hiking shoes, open the door and off you go: the fresh air and the intense experience of nature while hiking or Nordic walking clears your head and is good for your health. 

The Rothaarsteig, which leads directly over the terrace of our holiday hotel, paved the way for the "new hiking". The network of trails in the Schmallenberger Sauerland is - also off the popular main hiking trail - perfectly signposted with a modern hiking guidance system. Comfortable “forest sofas” have replaced the old park benches in many places and narrow paths and climbs are being rediscovered as natural hiking trails. 

Jagdhaus itself is part of the fillet of the Rothaarsteig and is therefore the perfect starting point for a hiking holiday in the Sauerland. Located at an altitude of 642 meters on a high plateau of the Rothaarkamm, numerous hiking opportunities open up directly from the hotel: Starting with excellent circular hikes between 4 and 26 km in length, sometimes completely without any significant inclines, to target hikes, for example to Schanze, Latrop or in the center of Schmallenberg. To get back, use the Schmallenberger Sauerland hiking bus - in conjunction with your Schmallenberger SauerlandCard for only 2 euros per person!

Hiking highlights and premium hiking trails such as the "Wald-Skulpturen-Weg" or the "Wittgensteiner Schieferpfad" are easily accessible from our hotel.

The Sauerland can be easily explored by mountain bike. There are a number of beautiful tours with different requirement profiles right from the hotel's doorstep. 

We provide modern and well-maintained mountain bikes and bicycle helmets for adults and children free of charge. In addition, the tourist office in Schmallenberg rents out high-quality e-bikes which, with their special tires and robust construction, are suitable both for off-road use and for a tour on the well-developed bike paths.

Winter sports in the Sauerland have a long tradition: cross-country skiing and alpine skiing are just as much at home in the Sauerland as sledding, ski jumping and bobsleigh. 

A small winter sports paradise opens up around the Jagdhaus Wiese for winter vacationers: 

The Rothaarloipe runs only 100 m from the hotel and offers a total of 52 km of machine-tracked cross-country skiing fun. If the weather can´t guarantee snow, cross-country skiers will get their money's worth in the nearby Westfeld cross-country skiing center, where part of the slopes are covered with machine-made snow. 

For hikers, we are clearing a number of different circular and destination trails so that there is no boredom even in deep winter. During this time, the little ones can build a snowman or have fun with the hotel's own sledges on the sledge hill. 

For those who prefer to go faster, the Schmallenberger Sauerland offers numerous downhill slopes with a lift. The nearest downhill slope is approx. 8 km away in Schmallenberg. A more extensive and snow-sure ski area can be found in Altastenberg and Winterberg approx. 20 km from Jagdhaus. 

In Winterberg you will also find a bobsleigh and sledding run on which you have the opportunity in winter to experience a real top sport feeling in a taxi bob. The bobsleigh run in Winterberg is also the venue for national and international bobsleigh competitions. 

Special highlights in the annual winter sports calendar are the international ski jumping on the Mühlenkopfschanze in Willingen, approx. 45 km away.

One of the most beautiful 27-hole golf courses in Germany is only 20 minutes away by car in Schmallenberg-Winkhausen.
