Recommended seasons
After the start in Meschede, take the junction at the Kreishaus and enjoy a leisurely ride along the banks of the Hennesee. On sunny days, other users should be taken into consideration here. The route climbs steadily up to Remblinghausen, a beautiful half-timbered village. A further 120 meters in altitude have to be overcome up to the wind turbines near Einhaus. A fantastic panoramic view of the surrounding area makes up for this. After a rapid descent and a few undulating kilometers, the Valmetal valley is always a gentle downhill glide. The tour leads back to Meschede via Berlar and Heggen.
