The road bike tour starts in the Salwey Valley, which initially offers a flat section followed by a steady climb to Faulebutter. A subsequent descent to Schönholthausen allows for a phase of regeneration. On the SauerlandRadring, the terrain is flat until Fretter, before two successive climbs characterize the profile. After reaching Bracht, the ride on to Schmallenberg is undulating. The return leg begins with a climb along the Lenne towards Winkhausen. From there, the route leads into the Sorpetal to tackle the climb to Holthausen. After crossing Bad Fredeburg, there is a marked ascent to Altenilpe. The section to Dorlar is characterized by a continuous interplay of ascents and descents, implying constant physical exertion. The final kilometers in the Marpe valley offer a balancing passage and allow you to relax after the previous challenges.
