The Biggesee-Listersee nature adventure area offers a perfect infrastructure for cyclists. In addition to the typically sweeping Sauerland landscape of hills, forests and valleys, secluded roads and challenging trails offer ideal conditions.
The Lakes Route (one of the two variants of the Bigge-Lister Cycle Tour) runs for almost 50 km, mainly along the banks of the lakes. The route is equipped with information boards to inform you of the current location. Along the way, numerous rest stops and rest areas invite you to linger.
From the start of the GPX track, the "Waldenburger Bucht" parking lot (you can of course start this circular tour at any point) near Attendorn, you cycle in a southerly direction, always close to the Biggesee. During the second half of the tour, you soon reach the Listerdamm. The dam wall separates the water masses of the Bigge and Listertalsperre dams. The route continues around the Listersee and around the Biggesee again until you finally reach the Biggesta dam.
Swimming opportunities, the "BiggeBlick" viewpoint or the combination with a boat tour ensure a varied tour for the whole family.
