This road bike tour starts in Rüthen and heads north-east towards Büren. The initial passage through the farmland is characterized by a slight incline. After Büren, there are intermittent, moderately challenging climbs that lead to the Aabach dam. The circular route around the dam then leads via Bleiwäsche into the Almetal valley and through the Ringelsteiner Wald forest before returning to Rüthen via a final, more extensive climb. Refreshment stops are available along the route.
