Landscape tourism and modern wind energy usage go hand in hand in Hilchenbach.

You can find an answer on the Hilchenbacher Windwanderweg. Learn more about this project while enjoying the beautiful Rothaar Mountains landscape. Even without a guided tour, you will be extensively informed, because each installation features a display board explaining how the natural power of \"wind\" is used with the latest technology—for the benefit of the region and the environment.
