Wellness at Sauerland Stern Hotel
Relaxation at our hotel in Willingen (Upland)

Willingen & the Sauerland
Mountains, ski slopes and hiking trails right on your doorstep
Numerous attractions await you near the hotel: Skywalk, Germany’s longest suspension bridge, Ettelsberg with its cable car and rewarding panoramic views, and the diverse bike park are just a few minutes away.

Family holidays
A full programme for days full of fun
„What shall we do today?“ This question is almost beside the point at the Sauerland Stern Hotel. The more important question is: „What shall we do first today?“
Go on a diving mission at Lagunen-Erlebnisbad, perhaps enjoy one slice of cake too many at the mountain hut, squeal with delight on the summer toboggan run or challenge the rules at adventure mini golf: all this and much more is possible here. Willingen is full of little and big surprises and places to visit. You can also visit many of them at a reduced rate with the Sauerland Card.
Sustainability at Sauerland Stern Hotel
For the love of Willingen and nature
The nature around Willingen is the reason many of our guests come to us, and one of the reasons we are committed to protecting it. Wherever possible, we are taking steps towards greater sustainability, from our local wildflower meadow to the maze of 900 hornbeam trees on the hotel grounds. The maze also offers younger guests a playful experience of nature, with plenty of exercise in the fresh air. Our green commitment has been certified with the GreenSign Hotel seal for several years.
