The red bird circuit is part of Willingen's MTB routes for children. These are so well networked and signposted that parents and children can decide during the tour which route they want to take and how long the route should be.

Important: The requirement profiles are only guidelines - these can of course vary from child to child. Children should not ride alone. Mountain bikes are required in any case. Riding the routes is at your own risk. In some places, hikers or car traffic may be on the same routes.

Information

Directions

The route of the red bird is designed for beginners who would like to cycle for a little longer and so the route continues slightly downhill via the Große Grube coal pile across the Lütteke field to the "Am Streit" refuge. Here you have the option of following the route of the blue bird or taking the red bird as planned.Shortly after the refuge, the red bird leads us to the right across the Hochheide nature conservation area "Neuer Hagen". At the end of the heathland, we return to a firm path and the Hochheide hut, which is open to the public and offers wonderful views of the Hochsauerland, is already on the left. If you don't want to take a break, follow the red bird on the right to the Langenberg, the highest mountain in NRW. After reaching the highest point, the route continues along the Langenberg in an easy descent. On this descent, we cross the Sonnenlift and have a wonderful view of Willingen. At the next lift, the descent is a little steeper, here the brakes should work well and the children should be made aware that there may also be hikers on the way and that they should adjust their speed accordingly.

Equipment

We recommend a helmet, functional cycling clothing suitable for the weather, rucksack provisions, sufficient liquid (water, tea), air pump, repair kit and multi-tool.


Author Tip

Before the tour starts, the kids can make a detour to the landscape playground or the Hochheide Tower.
