The Kinderland cycle route starts in Schmallenberg at the timber and tourism center. The tour involves a few meters of elevation gain, but the effort is rewarded with great views and many experiences along the way.
The yellow label of this route has the number 1 (blue) and is shortened from the main route of the Kinderland cycle route via the route with the number 3 (purple) in Ebbinghof.
Along the way, families become explorers. Playgrounds, ponds and pedal pools invite you to take a fun break, streams promise cooling off and a good opportunity to splash around. The adventure of nature beckons everywhere: animals along the way such as horses, goats, donkeys and cows. With a bit of luck, you might even catch a glimpse of deer, black storks, herons, stags or hares.

A rescue point system has been installed in the Hochsauerland district. Rescue points can be found on the information boards at junctions and on the hiking signs.
A visit to the historic, late Romanesque church of St. Peter and Paul Wormbach and the listed cemetery is well worthwhile.
Even learning is fun on the Kinderland cycle route. On the family adventure trail, in the slate mining and local history museum, or in the model layout on the Rothaarsteig and at other sights, you will learn a lot about the country and its people.
