Touring cyclists can experience the Sauerland off the beaten track on the MöhnetalRadweg. South of the Haarstrang, it always follows the Möhne and connects the old Hanseatic town of Brilon, the source of the Möhne, with its confluence with the Ruhr in Arnsberg-Neheim. Railroad line fans will also get their money's worth, as large sections of the route follow the route of the old Möhne Valley Railway. However, this tour is not a trip from Brilon to Arnsberg-Neheim, but a circular route, starting and ending at Wilkeplatz in Warstein-Belecke.

Information

Directions

After the start in Belecke, we follow the signs for the MöhnetalRadweg to first pass through a beautiful, dreamy floodplain landscape with bird paradises. The riverbed was renaturalized as part of the MöhneLife project (www.moehne-life.de). Numerous fish ladders invite you to observe birds and nature, for example at the so-called Mülheim Battle. In Sichtigvor, you can visit the old railroad carriage with a large miniature railroad world and many accessories from earlier times. In Allagen, the Dassel House with its museum of local history bears witness to earlier times of marble processing. In Niederbergheim, the old sawmill is a reminder of past working worlds. In Möhnesee-Wamel, the route heads towards Haarstrang. At the signpost for Körbecke (left), turn right onto the field path (there are no cycle path signs). In Westendorf, the "Kalköfen" area is on the left. The views across the fields and deep into the Sauerland forests are impressive. Hardly anyone knows that you are standing on an important European natural border here, as this is where the northern German lowlands give way to the low mountain range. To the right is the panorama of the Arnsberg Forest. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Lörmecketurm. At the "Drewer Quarry" viewing container, there is a deep view into the former quarry, which is now filled with water and is not accessible to people. Nature has been allowed to develop completely independently here for many years. Then it's downhill to the starting point in Belecke.There are various places to stop for refreshments here (ice cream parlor, café, restaurants). There are benches for self-catering and a sandpit for children on the Wilkeplatz in summer.
