The 'Around Finnentrop - No. 43' cycle tour starts in Lenhausen. The initial section of the route is characterized by the repeated crossing of the Lenne over various bridges, which open up attractive views of the river landscape. A newly created cycle path section begins at the north signal box. This leads along the premises of Metten-Fleischwaren, a company that is known for its high-quality regional products and reflects the local economic structure. Further along, the route integrates the attractively designed Lennepark, whose design invites you to linger. A striking bridge construction with an adjoining 'Lennebalkon' offers a sublime and expansive view over the entire park. After a moderate climb in the municipality of Finnentrop, the route follows the course of the Fretterbach stream, passing the Rameil trout farm, an example of local specialization. The route, designed as a circular tour, finally leads back to the original starting point in Lenhausen and thus completes the cycling experience.
