Thalhausermühle forest swimming pool: partial opening from July 10, 2025
Update on the Thalhausermühle forest swimming pool (03.07.25): Partial opening of the leisure and non-swimmer area. After construction work in the pool area, nothing stands in the way of recreational and children's pool fun. Splashing around in the water playground, climbing adventures on the play ship, a round of beach volleyball or a soccer tournament and perhaps enjoying a cold drink or an ice cream... despite the main swimming area still being closed, all of this will be possible again from next week, July 10, 2025 in the popular natural pool in Hamm (Sieg).
“Siegtal pur”: Proven concept with a few innovations
Siegburg/Betzdorf/Siegen/Netphen. Cleaned and oiled the chain? The saddle adjusted and enough air in the tires? If you can put a tick behind these questions, you should have already marked July 6 in your calendar - unless you don't like being out and about and certainly not in company. Because on this Sunday, “Siegtal pur”, the region's big cycling event, will attract thousands of cyclists and inline skaters to the federal and state roads. They will once again have free rein along the Sieg - through the Rhineland, Westerwald and Siegerland. And in keeping with its 50th anniversary, the Siegen-Wittgenstein district will also be taking part again this time, meaning that participants in the three districts of SI, AK and SU will have a route of around 110 kilometers at their disposal.
“The end of an era” Special exhibitions on the closure of the last mines 60 years ago
“The end of an era” - this is also the title of two special exhibitions at the district mining museum in Herdorf-Sassenroth, which commemorate this historic time. From Sunday, April 13, the first exhibition is entitled “Füsseberg-Friedrich Wilhelm mine - minerals and more”. The exhibition on the “Georg” mine will follow in the fall.
Season opener at the Westerwald Museum for Motorcycles and Technology
