The regional cycle tour around Herscheid, a circular route through the Sauerland region, starts at the parking lot of the Verse dam. The route begins along the banks of the Verse Reservoir, a phase that serves to set the mood for the challenge ahead. This is followed by the more demanding section, which involves overcoming three prominent elevations. The highest point of the tour is reached in Ober-Holte, which offers an extensive panoramic view of the surrounding landscape of the Märkischer Kreis. This section requires both stamina and riding technique. Herscheid, the central point of the route, offers a variety of options for refreshment and relaxation at the halfway point. The restaurants and cafés there provide adequate regeneration for the rest of the route. The way back requires you to conquer two more climbs, which once again put your fitness to the test and round off the profile of the route. The tour is characterized by its challenging, sporty character. The paved paths and roads throughout ensure a high level of passability and offer a challenging route in the Sauerland.
