Sauerland
The Sauerland [] is a rural, hilly area spreading across most of the south-eastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, in parts heavily forested and, apart from the major valleys, sparsely inhabited. For these reasons, it has been chosen as the first place in Germany to reintroduce the Wisent (or European bison) . The Sauerland is the largest tourist region in North Rhine-Westphalia,〔[http://en.sauerland.com/sauerland/reisethemen Travel themes], sauerland.com〕 in particular for mountain biking & cycling, water sports and scenic recreation. The town and Skiliftkarussell of Winterberg in the Hochsauerlandkreis is a major winter sport resort. ==Etymology== The name ''Sauerland'' is first mentioned as ''Suderland'' in an official document from 1266.〔Westfälisches Urkundenbuch VII, Nr. 1243〕 After 1400 the letter 'd' started to disappear. Therefore Sauerland = ''southern country'' is the most convincing meaning, opposed to the theory that Sauer is from the German word ''sauer'' meaning ''sour'' (poor "sour" soil). Linguistically, "suder-“ is similar to the Old Saxon ''sûðar'' (southbound).
