The Rothaar road bike tour, a challenging circular tour, begins with moderate climbs that lead to Hallenberg. Further on, the passage behind Neuastenberg towards Hoheleye requires you to conquer the Großer Saukopf. A subsequent slight descent allows for a dynamic ride to Schmallenberg, before the ascent to Niedersorpe and the ride along the Sorpe follow. The route crosses the Große Bildchen before Siedlinghausen and then climbs moderately to Winterberg. The final climb to Küstelberg introduces the descent back to Medebach, with numerous opportunities to stop for refreshments along the way.
