You have to drive many kilometers on country roads to reach Altastenberg, and most of the time, speeds over 70 km/h are not permitted. If you get stuck behind one of the many timber trucks, your journey will be even slower. If you are coming from the Ruhr area, it is advisable to leave the A46 at Meschede and travel via Remblinghausen, Bödefeld, and Siedlinghausen. This route helps you avoid the regular traffic jams in Bestwig and before Winterberg. If you are coming from the west, head towards Nordenau in Oberkirchen, and you will first pass the parking lot at the base station of Westfalenhang I, followed by the other parking lots lined up along the road. Only Parking Lot 1 at Kapellenhang requires a fee.
