Lennestadt: Sauerlaender Besucherbergwerk Show Mine, Elspe Festival Karl May Theatre, and the Upper Lenne Valley Municipality
Lennestadt has roughly 28,100 inhabitants and lies in the upper Lenne valley within the Olpe district of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Sauerlaender Besucherbergwerk at Meggen is a former lead and zinc mine open to visitors. The Elspe Festival stages Karl May Western adaptations in an open-air theatre during summer. Lennestadt was formed in 1969 by merging Altenhundem, Grevenbrueck, and several smaller communities.
Olpe is about 15 kilometres south. Attendorn lies nearby to the southwest. Schmallenberg is to the east in the Hochsauerland. Finnentrop is downstream on the Lenne. The steep Sauerland valleys give the municipality a scattered settlement pattern. Altenhundem serves as the main railway stop.
