The entry point of the Ettelsberg cabin ropeway is situated only 500 m (0.3 mi) away from our hotel. Since 2007, one of the most modern ropeways in Germany leads up to Willingen’s Ettelsberg mountain.With its spacious 8-person panorama cabins, the cabin ropeway will take you up the Ettelsberg mountain which is 838 m (approximately 0.5 mi) high. Once you have reached the top, you will find the legendary and quaint Ettelsberg hut “Siggi’s Hütte”, the Hochheide tower, the Kyrill path as well as the entry points to the mountain bike world, the network of rambling trails and - during winter - to the skiing area.
