Plettenberg Panoramic Webcam

Is there anything outstanding about Plettenberg other than the wind turbines perching atop the low-level hills that surround it? There could be, but you’ll have to search long and hard to find any fascinating information about this town in western Germany. That said though, it’s been gaining in popularity as a place to reside over the past few decades or so as the local population has gradually increased five-fold. There’s a good reason for that.

Plettenberg is a town located in the Sauerland region of western Germany. Take note, that Sauerland translates to southern in English rather than sour which is how it sounds when pronounced incorrectly by someone not well-practised in the language. What’s so appealing about this place to the increasing masses? The answer to that is the surrounding countryside which, while it looks dismal on this live feed, it’s a superb spot for hiking, cycling and in the wintertime, skiing.

Nestled between four valleys, Plettenberg is a magnet for anyone with a love for the great outdoors whether they enjoy exploring its thirty thousand kilometres of marked trails by foot, on two wheels or on skis. Do they have a beer fest in Plettenberg? It seems not, but nowhere is perfect and you never know, the tourism population might just grow enough to make it worthwhile staging one next year.
