Après Ski Willingen
On the subject of après ski in Willingen, all you you have to do is mention ''Siggi's Hütte'' - probably the best-known ski hut in Sauerland, with the entertaining proprietor Siggi! Officially known as ''Ettelsberghütte,'' you'll find yourself on 838m-high Ettelsberg, near the summit station of the gondola, right at a proper ski hut, a great place to stop for skiers and non-skiers alike. The other ski-huts and the new ''Seilbar'' at the valley station are also certainly worth a visit! For something a little quieter by comparison, try one of the many restaurants, in which you can cosily let the day fade away. Maybe you'll treat yourselves to a romantic horse-drawn sleigh-ride through the snowy, hilly scenery--or maybe a snowshoe hike? Yet another opportunity to round out the day may be the numerous sports opportunities, for example swimming, go-kart rides, or rock climbing. With good visibility, the Hochheidenturm tower on the Ettelsberg is a must. At 875 M, it's the highest lookout point in north-west Germany, and offers an impressive view of the Sauerland! Finally, the Mühlenkopfschanze ski-jump, which is the largest in the world--and also open for visitors--should not be missed.
