The source of the ruhr - Hiking near Winterberg
The Ruhr (helm) originates near Winterberg, in the Sauerland in North Rhine - Westphalia.Very short walk from the car park, to long trips into the surrounding area (Rothaarsteig).

You don't always know it when you're looking at a big flowing river. But somewhere, a river starts with a small stream.
The Ruhr rises 3 km from Winterberg (Sauerland/North Rhine - Westphalia). (674 metres above sea level)
After a rainy morning, we put on our hiking boots and went for a short walk. You can park the car near the source.
