The gravel bike tour "Over the Eisenberg No. 20" starts in Olsberg and heads north, passing the historic Schellenstein Castle. The route is then characterized by a varied terrain of forest and field passages in the direction of Esshoff and on to Rixen. The Aa mills are located in the fields near Brilon, four historic mills directly on the River Aa, which lines the route. The Forstenberg is bypassed without any significant differences in altitude before the ascent to the Zwöllberg begins. The route leads back to Olsberg via the Langer Berg plateau with a gliding descent, thus completing the circuit.
