Second day, we went early and drove into the hilly ground of Sauerland, a rural and heavily forested area spreading across most of the eastern part of German's North Rhine-Westphalia province. This is also where the F1 BMW Sauber name come from and the F1 Nurburgring is quite closeby. This area is famous for winter sports and skiing, a much nearer option for Germans and Dutch alike. However the high grounds are not as high as the Alps. There are up to a hundred ski parks scattered all over the area, in most cases heavily relying on snow making machines to ensure the slopes are covered with snow. We finally settled on in a park in Altastenberg which is 5 km away from Winterberg town itself.http://www.skiinfo.com/Big-Skimap/Altastenberg-EDEALTASTEN-930-en.jhtml
To reach Altastenberg, we had to drive slowly as the roads were slippery and quite foggy. One should also check this website before going.
