Hik­ing in the Bison Wil­der­ness

Dis­cov­er the beau­ti­ful Wit­tgen­stein dis­trict with all of its ap­peal.

The European bison are here – and you can see them first hand. Ever wanted to see these impressive forest dwellers up close? Hike along historic paths in Sauerland and the Wittgensteiner Forests? Hotel Alte Schule is the perfect starting point for a hike to the Bison Wilderness at Rothaarsteig with an overnight hotel stay. You’ll begin your “bison safari” directly at the Berleburg Palace and hike towards Wingeshausen to the Bison Wilderness (approximately 15 km). Sorry, but dogs are not allowed in the Bison Wilderness. A hiking guide can be booked for groups and will provide details on the background of the nature protection project. Guided hikes through the Bison park are also available for groups.
