Many fishermen once settled in Gemünden, as fishing was apparently extremely lucrative here. A fountain here at the fish market is intended to commemorate the abundance of fish and the times when the square was still a fish market.

A great view of the Arnsberg, which unfortunately isn't accessible by road bike. But there are other bikes and hiking boots available.

Beautiful views into the distance and of the nearby Kreuzberg and Arnsberg mountains. Anyone who still has the energy at this point should tackle the last few meters to the Kreuzberg summit. The path is paved all the way to the summit, making it suitable for road bikes.
