The start of the GPX track is the parking lot at Wenden town hall. However, you can of course start this circular tour at any point. The route requires some fitness, as there are some steep passages to master over the heights of the Sauerland Rothaargebirge Nature Park and the Bergisches Land Nature Park.

The tour is still moderate via Möllmicke to the Wendener Hütte. The first ascent begins at Hillmicke. More follow before Halbhusten and Benolpe, but these are immediately rewarded by relaxed descents. From Eckenhagen to Konradshof, you can pedal hard again. In Nespen, you are not far from the Wiehl dam and some graywacke quarries.

The tour continues via Nosbach and the Benze and Binsenbach nature reserve. You return to Wenden via Rothemühle, Ottfingen and a final undercrossing of the highway.
