Willingen in the Upland – an experience in any season!
Whether cycling in the spring, family vacations in the summer, hiking in the fall or skiing in the winter - the abundance of holiday and leisure activities of the low-mountain region is unique in Germany.
In addition to numerous gastronomic offerings, Willingen attracts families, groups and day trip visitors with a variety of leisure activities.
Ice-skating at the indoor skating rink, a self-blown glass from the glass manufacture or a bike ride on the Downhill World Cup Course – basically, Willingen is a huge adventure playground for children and adults.
Friends of Willingen primarily appreciate the location for its numerous events such as the annual FIS World Cup Ski Jumping Competition or the Bike Festival that attract thousands of visitors.

As a climatic health resort, Willingen scores points mainly on the basis of its prevention programs, activity weeks organized by corporate health insurance companies as well as the program ‘Holidays for Care-Giving Relatives’, which was awarded the ‘Hessian Tourism Award’ in 2013.
