Winterberg

Country: Germany
from: pen-pal


Winterberg is a winter sports resort in North-Rine Westphalia. The town was founded in about 1270. It has some dark past as Winterberg experienced witch trials and their executions between the 16th and 18th centuries.

If you are keen on bobsleigh, skeleton, and luge, you will love the town's sports facilities.

The town is very old, so I guess, sightseeing lovers would have something to do there as well.
