MöhnetalRadweg
On the MöhnetalRadweg, touring cyclists can experience the Sauerland off the beaten track. South of the Haarstrang, the route always follows the small river Möhne and thus connects the old Hanseatic town of Brilon, the source of the river, and the confluence with the Ruhr in Arnsberg-Neheim in a very pleasant way over 65 kilometers.

There is a lot to discover on the tour: in addition to attractive places, the Möhnetal presents itself from its most beautiful side. Floodplain landscapes with lush meadows, green forests and gentle hills characterize the scenery during the tour. And the Möhnetal is undergoing a transformation: parts of the floodplain have been renaturalized as part of the "Möhne Life" project. Flowery valley meadows and sparse alluvial forests are being restored for many animal and plant species of the low mountain valleys and will offer cyclists an even greater experience of nature in the future.
Railroad line fans will also get their money's worth. This is because large parts of the MöhnetalRadweg run along a former railroad line with absolutely no inclines.
The scenic highlight is the Möhnesee, one of the largest reservoirs in North Rhine-Westphalia. The route runs along both its southern and northern shores and offers pure nature. In addition, the imposing dam wall, which is over 100 years old and is still the heaviest monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, provides a great view over the lake.
In Arnsberg-Neheim, cyclists experience a contrast to the rest of the route: the attractive shopping town offers urban life right on the Ruhr. Perfect for recharging your batteries.
