After the first ascent over the Schören-/Istenberg, this tour first leads over Willingen and down another mountain to Diemelsee. From there, the route continues undulating via Korbach to the crisp climb to Küstelberg. After Winterberg, the tour leads to Siedlinghausen with a slight gradient. After a short, tough climb, the route is undulating but tends to descend back to Olsberg.

Public transit

Olsberg is on the Sauerland Express route (RE 17 Hagen-Warburg/Kassel) and is therefore easy to reach at hourly intervals. The Dortmund-Sauerland-Express (RE 57 Dortmund-Winterberg) also offers a regular direct connection to Bigge-Olsberg.
