Summer view across the garden of Haus Astenalm towards the Rothaar Mountains panorama

Summer in Winterberg

Mountain air, views and long evenings

In summer the Rothaar Mountains turn green: hiking and cycling routes start at the front door – and the day ends with barbecue smells in the garden.

Summer in the mountains

Summer as it should be

Fresh mountain air, green hilltops and days spent outside: summer in Winterberg is at least as beautiful as winter.

Birdsong in the garden in the morning, hiking trails, bike routes and family outings during the day – and in the evening you sit outside with a cold drink while the sun sinks behind the mountains.

Summer view over the village, meadows and wooded hills

Hiking from the front door

The Rothaarsteig, one of Germany's best-known hiking trails, passes right by the village – and countless other paths start practically at the doorstep.

From an easy panoramic loop to a sporty full-day stage: every hiking level finds its route here, always with sweeping views over the Rothaar Mountains.

Garden, barbecue & summer evenings

After the day out, the big garden awaits: room to play and soak up the sun, the barbecue at the ready and views far across the mountains.

Long summer evenings outside while the kids are still racing across the lawn – hardly a better way to end a mountain day.
