Water is fascinating - and we encounter it again and again on this circular tour through several river valleys. The Nameless Brook murmurs as it accompanies the cyclists.
Mining history is alive and well in Silbach: Mining sites and the old Zwölf Apostel tunnel tell of slate and ore mining. In the nail forge, visitors can watch how sharp pins are made from hot metal.
If you need to cool off, refresh yourself in the treading pool at the edge of the forest.
Through the magnificent landscape around the enchanting artists' village of Siedlinghausen uphill to the wayside shrine at St. Blasius. From there, there is a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains and villages: the last section of the route runs along the Ruhr Valley cycle path, which is dedicated to the Ruhr.
From the cycle point at the train station in Winterberg in the direction of the town center - on the Kurweg in the direction of the ski area - through the ski area in the direction of the golf course - in the direction of Silbach - continue in the direction of Siedlinghausen - past the mountain lake - in the direction of Siedlinghausen town center - in the direction of the mountain lake on the Iberg - Sankt Blasius - Eschenberg ski area - Ruhrtalradweg - Winterberg
From the Eschenberg lift, a detour to Niedersfeld to the Hillebach reservoir with its bathing bay and wakeboard facility is well worthwhile.
