Properties:
The Eresburger Bogenschützen e.V. operates the Marsberg Archery Course for its members and guest archers on a volunteer basis.
The Marsberg Archery Course is located on the grounds of a former copper mine. It covers an area of 5.9 hectares. The terrain is very steep and rocky in places, so sturdy footwear is absolutely essential. The course places certain demands on your physical fitness.
The central point is the “Bogendorf.” Here you’ll find the registration desk, target boards at various distances, and several huts for resting or seeking shelter in bad weather. Free lockers are available here for visitors to the archery course (50-cent coin required as a deposit).
The “RED” course with 15 stations and the “YELLOW” course with 17 stations—including a moving target and over 70 targets—offer shots at all distances and from various angles. The course is marked in accordance with IFAA standards.
We have tried to make the shots challenging. This includes deliberately limiting the shooting areas—for example, with trees—as well as incorporating depressions and terrain edges.
There are 3 different shooting positions available, with distances according to IFAA standards:
- "YELLOW" stake: Youth
- "Blue" Target: Adults
- "Red" target: Compound bows
All bows with a draw weight of up to 60 lbs are permitted.
Directions
To get to the parking lot in Marsberg, always follow the signs for "Besucherbergwerk Kilianstollen" or "Kilianstollen". The parking spaces for visitors to the archery course are located at the rear of the Kilianstollen visitor parking lot. There are 10 parking spaces available there. IMPORTANT: For the protection of local residents, the "Kattwinkel" road may not be used by visitors to the archery course. From the parking lot you can reach the archery course on foot in about 5 minutes. To do this, walk from the parking lot on the sidewalk to the right in the direction of the city center and then follow the street "Kattwinkel". At the end of the road, turn left onto the course.
