Racing bike - Sundern Short

The starting point in Sundern marks the beginning of a challenging climb along the L 685, a busy country road that leads towards Arnsberg. There, the route joins the Ruhr, with a passage through the "Alte Feld" and around the "Kurfürstlicher Thiergarten". The route crosses Wenniglohe, Hachen and Tiefenhagen to finally reach the dam of the Sorpesee. From there, there is another ascent to the observation tower above the Sorpesee before the tour leads back to the L687, the shore road of the Sorpesee, via the K34. A cycle path separated from the main road accompanies the onward journey to Amecke. Here you cross the dam that separates the forebay basin from the main basin of the reservoir by means of a bridge. The route then runs along the forebay and passes the Amecke Promenade with its landscaped Airlebnisweg. The route then climbs steeply again via the L686, through the villages of Stockum and Seidfeld, before returning to Sundern, the original starting point.
