The tour through the Brachtetal valley presents itself as an enriching variant of the "Sauerland Valley Tour". This regional cycle route offers a multifaceted landscape that is equally suitable for cycling and mountain biking. There are various opportunities for breaks along the circular route to take in the surrounding nature. A refreshment stop is available for a refreshing break. The starting point of the circular tour is at Olpe railroad station and initially leads towards the River Brachtpe. The route leads via Berlinghausen to Drolshagen, where the historic market square is worthy of architectural attention. The route continues via Benolpe, Husten and Isinghausen, from where it follows the course of the Brachtpe stream to the village of the same name. The trail then leads back to Olpe. Designed as a circular route, the tour allows flexible access at various points.
