The route begins at the starting point of the GPX track—the parking lot at Wenden Town Hall—and takes you on a challenging tour with stunning views. Of course, you can start this loop tour from any location you choose.

First, take a detour into the Bergisches Land region, then explore the hills and valleys of the southern Sauerland as you travel along Biggesee and through the towns of Drolshagen and Olpe. The route then winds through the idyllic villages of Elben and Schönau before returning to the starting point in Wenden.
