Olpe: Biggesee Reservoir, Kurkölnisches Amtshaus Heritage, and the Sauerland District Seat on the Bigge-Lister Lake System
Olpe has about 25,700 inhabitants and serves as the district seat of the Olpe district in Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Biggesee, a large reservoir on the Bigge river, provides drinking water, flood control, and recreation. Sailing, swimming, and cycling around the lake draw visitors. The Kurkölnisches Amtshaus, a historic administrative building, documents the town's past under the Electorate of Cologne.
Attendorn is about 10 kilometres northeast on the Biggesee. Siegen lies roughly 30 kilometres south. Lennestadt is to the east. Gummersbach is around 30 kilometres northwest. The Sauerland hills here are densely forested. Olpe's economy combines administrative functions with medium-sized manufacturing.
