The gravel bike tour 'Über Hillekopf & Junge Grimme Nr. 3' starts at the Bremberg parking lot and initially leads downhill to Winterberg. The route continues with a descent through the Ruhr Valley to Niedersfeld. From there, a climb begins in the direction of Langenberg, which leads into a challenging trail section along the characteristic Hochheide. Before reaching Küstelberg, the Hillekopf must be passed. There are opportunities to stop for refreshments in Küstelberg before the route continues uphill to Bringsfeld with the Schienenhütte, followed by a descent to Elkeringhausen. After the Ehrenscheider Mühle mill in the Orketal valley, there is a challenging climb that leads back to Winterberg.
