There is a lot to discover on the tour: in addition to attractive places, the Möhnetal presents itself from its most beautiful side. Alluvial landscapes with lush meadows, green forests and gentle hills characterize the scenery during the tour.
The tour starts in the Hanseatic town of Brilon and initially follows the railroad line cycle path along the Möhne river downhill with almost no inclines.
The Möhnetal is undergoing a transformation: parts of the floodplain have been renaturalized as part of the "Möhne Life" project. Colourful valley meadows and sparse riparian 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.
This stage offers a special highlight for young cyclists with the Biber Valley. If the summer weather is nice and you have time, you can enjoy the "Biberbad" outdoor pool with its beach landscape and giant slide. After refreshments at Café Bibertal, the route continues to the finish in Belecke with its historic Altstadt.
