Although the valley tour is not without climbs, it combines long, flatter passages in the Elpe, Sorpe and Ruhrtal valleys. There are a few crisp mountains in between: e.g. the Große Bildchen and the Rimberg behind Bad Fredeburg.

From Meschede to Bestwig, the route follows the Ruhr cycle path - time enough to loosen up your legs again.
