Through the "Old Testament" (SR5)

Almost the entire Sauerland region has been signposted with the junction system since 2015: www.radeln-nach-zahlen.de/de/Das-Konzept-Radeln-nach-Zahlen/KnotenpunktkarteThis route is not in the junction system. Please follow the SR5 markings on a green background. The tour starts at the town hall in Sundern. Turn right at the bus stop and follow Mescheder Straße in the direction of Westenfeld. On leaving Sundern, you can follow the cycle path to Westenfeld on the left-hand side. Cycle past the Schützenhalle and the church and turn left into "Bainghauser Weg". After 130 m, turn right into "Weist". A beautiful meadow valley with a small stream leads you to a country road (take care!), which you should cross carefully and follow the road to Hellefeld opposite, past the equestrian center. Here, too, you have to cross another busy road (take care!). Now cycle into the village center of Hellefeld. The second street on the right is "Kehlstraße". Turn right here and follow the road until you come to the L839 country road. Now turn left (there is a cycle path behind the crash barrier) and after 1 km you will reach the beautiful village of Altenhellefeld. Keep straight on at the crossroads and take the first right into "Lange Straße". After 200 m, turn left into "Dünnefeldweg", cross the village road (take care!) and turn into "Zum Dünnefeld" opposite. This road turns into a gravel path. Follow this path past a barn and enjoy the beautiful view of the "Hardt" and "Sauberg" mountains on your right. In Linnepe you reach "Linneper Straße", turn left, pass the "Zur Mühle" inn and now turn right onto district road 7 in the direction of Weninghausen.In Weninghausen, cycle straight up the hill for approx. 200 m until the road forks. Take the right-hand path and follow it. After a climb, there is a long descent with fantastic views of the Sauerland Siebengebirge mountains around Stockum and you reach the small town of Recklinghausen. At "Recklinghauser Straße", turn right towards Sundern and follow the road until you reach the traffic circle. Here take the 2nd exit and continue straight ahead. After 200 m, turn right before the traffic lights into "Ewiger Weg" and after approx. 380 m turn left again into "Selscheder Weg" until you reach the paper factory. Turn left here into "Hauptstraße", which will take you to the town center. Now cycle through the pedestrian zone (keep to walking speed!) and at the fountain turn right across Levi-Klein-Platz, through the underpass and you have reached the starting point of your tour.
