Willingen (Upland) is Hesse's best-known winter-sports resort, tucked into the north-west corner of the state in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district, right on the border with North Rhine-Westphalia and its neighbour Winterberg. The Mühlenkopfschanze, the largest ski-jumping hill in the world, hosts a FIS World Cup weekend every winter, while the Ettelsberg cable car lifts skiers and walkers to the Hochheide plateau and the Hochheideturm viewing tower. Summer belongs to the mountain bikers: the Bike Festival Willingen is one of the biggest events of its kind in Germany. The resort lives almost entirely from tourism, with a dense stock of hotels, apartments and a large Lagunen-Erlebnisbad.
