Open countryside, little forest and an undulating profile characterize this route, although the long climbs are missing.

Immediately after the start in Marsberg, the first hill awaits cyclists with a height of almost 400 meters. After a short descent into the valley, it's back up to the Thielekopf, which is just as steep at 400 meters. The tour leads down to the Twiste reservoir, followed by a moderate 10 km.

Before and after Korbach, however, the undulating tour continues to Giershaben, from where it is only downhill to Marsberg.
