Historic Site

#deinsauerland / Neusta POIs / Loermund (Kreuzberg)

Perched high atop the Kreuzberg is the approximately 125-year-old Kreuzberg Chapel. The tree-shaded path leading there winds its way up the Loermund. The path is lined with the stations of the Cross. Once at the top, visitors are treated to a sweeping view of the Möhnetal.

What few people know so far is that there is a historic hill fort near Warstein-Sichtigvor. Thanks to the project “Development of the Loermund near Sichtigvor, with a Special Focus on Accessibility for the Visually Impaired,” the Loermund has been awakened from its slumber. A new bronze sculpture and its base—a square sandstone colossus weighing about three and a half metric tons—can be admired. A bronze plaque commemorates all sponsors who contributed more than 250 euros.

The proportions are not quite accurate. From the small chapel to the Stations of the Cross, the winding path, and the terraces, the work by artist Boris Sprenger from Brilon-Madfeld otherwise faithfully reflects the historic site.

You can learn more about the site via a QR code on the information board. Information in Braille makes the Loermund accessible to people with visual impairments as well.

The Loermund hill spur (Kreuzberg/Kalvarienberg). A prehistoric ring fort and an approximately 150-year-old Stations of the Cross complex with a chapel are attractive tourist destinations.

Ring wall complex:

Small ring wall, a system of Walls and ditches staggered in waves toward the east, a medieval castle complex in the western third of the site, and a triangular castle plaza with a deep neck ditch
