Description [EN]
In an exhibition on the Kahler Asten near Winterberg (Hochsauerland District), the LWL Museum of Natural History in Münster, part of the Landschaftsverbandes Westfalen-Lippe (LWL), showcases the formation of the area around the Kahler Asten as well as the plants and animals of this popular hiking destination. A film produced specifically for the exhibition introduces visitors to the small animals that are easily overlooked. If you climb all the way to the top of the Astenturm on the Kahlen Asten, you’ll find yourself at the highest vantage point in Westphalia (and North Rhine-Westphalia). A key focus of the exhibition in the Astenturm is the unique features of the Kahlen Asten. These include the nature reserve and the German Weather Service’s weather station, which was established as early as 1918. In the approximately 120-square-meter exhibition, the German Weather Service presents its weather records.
The area surrounding the Kahler Asten, with its attractions, is also featured in the exhibition. Visitors can interactively explore topics such as the Rothaarsteig trail, the Rothaar Mountains Nature Park, the heathland nature trail, and winter sports, or test their knowledge with a weather quiz and play a memory game.
