The Ruhr & Sorpe road bike tour presents scenic highlights along the Arnsberg Ruhr loop and the Sorpetalsperre dam. The route first leads through the Seufzertal valley and passes through Hachen to reach the western bank of the Sorpetalsperre dam. After passing Sundern, the Ochsenkopf reveals itself with its challenging serpentines. The return route follows the Ruhr to the starting point of this circular tour, with opportunities to stop for refreshments along the way.

Wearing a bicycle helmet should be a matter of course for all cyclists. Before setting off, check that your bike is in perfect condition. For demanding tours, we recommend packing plenty of drinks and snacks.

A rescue point system has been installed throughout the region (Soest district, Hochsauerlandkreis, Märkischer Kreis, Olpe district and Siegen-Wittgenstein district). Rescue points can be found on the information boards at the junctions of the Südwestfalen cycle network.
