We offer you a beautiful, comfortable apartment, located in the village of Nordenau, which is located in the middle of the Rothaar Mountains. It is part of Schmallenberg, a medium-sized town with all kinds of amenities, beautiful shops and nice terraces. With its many half-timbered houses, Nordenau is probably the most authentic village in the Hochsauerland. That's why it is called 'The Pearl of the Sauerland'.
From the 11 meter wide south-facing balcony you have a wonderful and unobstructed view of the hilly surroundings with meadows, forests and the village of Nordenau. From the balcony you can hear the babbling brook below in the valley. This valley largely consists of a so-called 'Kurpark", with space for walking of picknicking. For children there is a playground. Known for its charming location, its wooded area and its clear an pleasant air, there is in Nordenau a climatic health resort, that has been awarded the most rare and enviable status of "Staatlich anerkannte Luftkurort" (State-approved climatic health resort).
One of the most attractive things for us is the possibility of making beautiful walks in the nearby area, with fantastic views.
Despite the surrounding is very calm and quiet, it is only 6 minutes by car to the wintersportsarea, 10 minutes to the bikepark and the golf-course and 12 minutes to the center of Winterberg. (There is also a busstop just outside the appartement-complex). Schmallenberg and Bad Berleburg with all their sights and attractions are reachable in 16 and 25 minutes by car.
Larger cities such as Kassel (100 km), Marburg (70 km), Dortmund (100 km), and Keulen (130 km) are also within reach.

Our apartment is ideal for peace and nature seekers, like we are. We especially like walking (Rothaarsteig) and cycling (Several old railway lines have been converted into cycle paths, such as the Sauerland Rad Ring).
A Gallery with healing spring is located in the immediate vicinity.
In Winterberg about 15 km from our apartment there are various options for outdoor sports.
In the area are several places of interest such as caves, castles, picturesque towns and museums.
