The Pengel-Anton route from Belecke to Soest represents a transformation of historical infrastructure. Originally used as a railroad line from 1899 to 1960 for passenger transport and until 1970 for freight transport, it was known locally in the Möhne valley as the "Pengel-Anton" or "Kiepenkerl". After the tracks were decommissioned and dismantled, the trackbed was redesigned and has served as an established cycle path since 1985. This family-friendly route makes for a delightful exploration of the Soest region.
