Regional

Delicious treats from the farm stand, quality products from brand-name manufacturers, and handmade goods from the Land of 1,000 Mountains—the Sauerland offers a wide variety of regional products. There are all kinds of souvenirs to discover right here—all “Made in Sauerland.” That’s because the region combines rural culinary culture with industrial strength and is one of Germany’s most important industrial regions.

In farm cheese dairies, mustard mills, on numerous farms, and in small workshops, delicacies are produced that both locals and visitors love to have in their pantries and on their tables. These products can be purchased at local stores and farm shops—or directly through online shops. Essen and drink have always held a special place in the Sauerland. Homemade cakes and other treats, fish from the region, game from the local forests, beer and spirits from the breweries and distilleries, and many other specialties are not only served in restaurants but can also be purchased as culinary souvenirs.

Numerous brand-name manufacturers and global market leaders are based in the Sauerland, some of which offer their products at factory outlets or outlet stores. Kitchen appliances, socks, clothing, sporting goods—the list is long and varied.
