Although the population of Schmallenberg together with its 80 surrounding villages is much the same as Burgess Hill, there is a distinct impression of being away from it all, up in the hills.
Schmallenberg is located in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia whose capital is Düsseldorf.
It is a town in Sauerland, the land of 1000 hills, as can be seen on the map.
