The original purpose of the Diemel Reservoir – in conjunction with the Eder Reservoir – was to balance the water levels of the Weser and the Mittelland Canal. This was intended to improve shipping conditions on the Upper Weser. Since 1960, the primary focus has been on balancing the Upper Weser.

The approximately 42-meter-high dam, completed in 1924, and the power plant building are now listed as historical monuments. The view of the dam is impressive.

The dam is also considered one of the Sauerland's spiritual places. It symbolizes the theme of "power and strength."

Großer Buttenberg

Highlight • Climb

The Great Buttenberg is located between Hoppecke and Bontkirchen. Both communities belong to Brilon and are part of the Brilon mountains. Speaking of mountain: It goes up to almost 630 meters, sometimes the rise is quite steep and no matter which side you come from. You will be rewarded with a great descent. In the direction of Bontkirchen, it is particularly beautiful, because it ends in the Ittertal, which leads you directly to the beautiful Diemelsee and in advance granted one or the other beautiful view of it.

Willingen

Highlight • Settlement

Willingen is the unofficial party mile of the Sauerland. The dubious reputation of the legendary hotel "Sauerlandstern" precedes him and there are days here where the party audience clearly has the upper hand. The rest of the year belongs to those who want to experience the beautiful nature of the Sauerland. The benefit in Willingen from the great infrastructure in the form of lots of hotels and restaurants, so Willingen is a great starting point for tours.

The Willinger highlight in terms of cycling is the mountain bike park - if you want to test a wheel with rough Stollenreifen: Here is the best opportunity. Once a year, the big Bike Festival takes place in Willingen. As part of this, the "Sauerland Giro" will be held, a racing event for everyone with varying distances through the beautiful surroundings of the Willingen Upland. Here you can find more information: willingen.bike-festival.de/sauerland-giro/allgemeine-info
