Giller and Ginsberger Heide

The Giller ( mistake in the expression: unrecognized word "de" ) is a mountain that is closer to the Lützel district in terms of distance , but belongs to the ground in terms of surveying. On the mountain is the Gillerturm , from which there is a view of the Siegerland, Sauerland and Wittgensteiner Land , among others .

To the northwest of the mountain lies the Ginsberger Heide, a nature reserve with rare flora and fauna. On the western edge of this is the Gillerheim, a kind of youth hostel where schoolchildren can learn more about the plants and animals of the Rothaargebirge. Affiliated is a sports field on which the Gillerberg Turn Festival, the largest mountain gymnastics festival in German-speaking countries, has been taking place once a year since 1907 and the KulturPur festival with artists from the fields of music and comedy, among others, has been taking place since 1991 .
