The Tour de Brilon is characterized by completely different landscapes: Fields and meadows in the north of Brilon and near Rüthen, but also long forest passages through the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park and the forests north of Winterberg.
While the first quarter of the route is fairly easy, there are numerous tough hills along the way. Shortly before Brilon, you have almost made it, and four climbs within 15 km demand the last of your strength.
