Sundern: Sorpesee Reservoir Recreation, Scattered Sauerland Villages, and the Arnsberg District Municipality in the Roehr Valley
Sundern has about 27,600 residents and lies in the Hochsauerlandkreis of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Sorpesee, a reservoir on the Sorpe river, draws day-trippers for sailing, swimming, and cycling around its shore. Sundern consists of the main town and numerous scattered villages across hilly terrain. Metal processing and machine building sustain the local economy.
Arnsberg is about 10 kilometres north. Meschede lies roughly 15 kilometres east. The Sorpesee dam was built in the 1930s as part of the Ruhr water management system. Hachen and Langscheid are constituent villages near the reservoir. The Sauerland hills here reach over 500 metres and are heavily forested with spruce and beech.
