Titmaringhausen in the Wilde Aa Valley

Those looking for hotels in Titmaringhausen can plan their stay around the defining features of the area: its landscape, hiking trails and architectural history. Titmaringhausen lies in the Wilde Aa Valley, between the foothills of the Rothaar Mountains. The road ends in the village, so there is no through traffic. The landscape describes the regional setting, while the end of the road characterizes traffic directly in the village. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing between the trails by their routes: a trail that starts and ends in the village center, an extensive network in the Hohe Pön hiking area, and a history trail with stops at historic sites.

Hiking from different starting points

Titmaringhausen has an extensive network of hiking trails in the “Hohe Pön” hiking area. The Kohlhagenweg (T2) starts in the village center and leads back there. The “In the Footsteps of Glindfeld Monastery” history trail runs from Glindfeld via Küstelberg to Titmaringhausen and Deifeld. More than 22 stops at original historic sites feature along this trail. The two trails differ mainly in their described routes: the Kohlhagenweg starts and ends in the village center, while the history trail passes through several named places and includes historic stops. Conditions at individual stops may change; check the current situation before setting out.

Local history and historic buildings

Titmaringhausen was first mentioned in official records in 1280; a small chapel was built there in 1623. In 1954, an extension to St. Anthony’s Chapel was built across the Wilde Aa. The dates mark different historical points of reference: a documentary mention and two construction projects.

The listed Fresenhof is located in the Medebach district of Titmaringhausen, is privately owned and can be viewed from the outside. It is an old farmhouse dating from 1768, with an even older granary from 1708. The granary therefore dates from 60 years before the farmhouse.
