Picking allowed!. The blueberry season begins in Winterberg

It becomes purple around Winterberg: the blueberry season is on the high heathland.. A rich harvest is expected around the Kahler Asten and on the Niederfeld Hochheide.. Picking is allowed, every walker can use the wild fruits.. In order not to unbalance the delicate balance of the protected heathland, collectors may only pick the berries by hand and for their own use.. Combing dwarf shrubs and harvesting for commercial purposes are not permitted..

The two high heath areas are also worth seeing: The heath on Kahler Asten, for example, offers a hiking trail, the highest hotel in North Rhine-Westphalia and the Astenturm viewpoint.. The Hochheide Neuer Hagen is actually the largest contiguous Hochheide area in Nodwest Germany.. There are a landscape therapy path and a hut with a panoramic view..
