Farmland cycle route

You start at the timber and tourism center in Schmallenberg (you can also hire e-bikes here) via the SauerlandRadring via Fleckenberg to Lenne. From Lenne you cycle through the lonely Uentroptal valley over the "Böhre" to Oberfleckenberg and cross the route you have already cycled, from now on you climb the first altitude with a view of Schmallenberg, the glider airfield and the farmland, through meadows and fields via the villages of Felbecke, Selkentrop and Werntrop to the highest village of Bracht. There you have the opportunity to stop off and recharge your batteries at Gasthof Geueke by prior arrangement. From Bracht you reach the zenith of the route. In good weather, you can see the valleys and mountain ranges of the Rothaargebirge and the Homert, which converge at the Astenturm. After 300 m along the L737 country road, turn right towards Herschede. There, the panorama board at the rest hut in Herschede explains the location of the Schmallenberg high Sauerland mountains. The snack station (open on Sundays in good weather) a little further on is ideal for a break. Tip: While you take a break, watch the birds hunting mice in the meadows, etc. After the break, cycle back approx. 700 m to the Arpe traffic sign. A steep downhill section awaits you as far as Arpe, where you can recharge your batteries at Gasthof Voss if necessary and recharge your batteries for the rest of the tour. You then return to the route, which turns off to the right. Here the landscape opens up like a small high plateau. At the village of Keppel, turn left across the meadows to Niederberndorf. From here over the mountains to Mailar, you finally reach the SauerlandRadring, which you follow turning right via the villages of Heiminghausen, Bad Fredeburg and Gleidorf to Schmallenberg, simply following the SauerlandRadring logo, which is marked by a red bat. In Schmallenberg, you have the opportunity to stop for a refreshment in a café or restaurant in the historic old town. Follow the gastronomy route at the traffic circle in the town center.
