A family-friendly circular tour with relatively gentle gradients on mainly paved paths awaits cyclists. The short tour leads to nearby Glindfeld with its St. Laurentius Chapel and the old monastery walls.
A detour to the pedal pool is not just for families. The well-kept grounds are perfect for a picnic in the countryside. Simply follow the signs at the St. Laurentius Chapel.
Back in Medebach, families can visit the Garden of Generations. Children can let off steam and play on the climbing frame while their parents enjoy the peace and quiet of the small park.
The municipal museum with its model railway layout is also open on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Young visitors are also catered for here, with hands-on packages available!
Information
Directions
The circular cycle route is signposted throughout with a green "M1"and the starting point for this 8 km circular tour is the tourist information office on the market square. From here, we take Niederstraße through the one-way street "Auf der Burg" in the direction of Schützenstraße and then turn right onto Gelängeweg. We follow this out of the residential areas and into the field. After a fairly steep descent, we cross the Gelängebach and reach the K56, which we follow to the right in the direction of Glindfeld/ Medebach, always slightly uphill. We pass the St. Laurentius chapel, the farm on the left and come to some houses on the right. Here we do not follow the district road, but continue straight ahead onto Glindfelder Weg. This leads us back to Medebach. We reach the market square via Oberstraße.
Equipment
Dress appropriately for the weather.
