The "Warstein Highlights" circular cycle tour covers large parts of the town of Warstein, nestled in the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park. The route crosses a diverse landscape structure, from the renaturalized floodplains of the Möhne valley to extensive hilly landscapes and the striking rock formations of the Warstein Forest. Various points along the route offer the opportunity to stop and explore. These include the Bilstein Valley with its wildlife park, the historic old town of Beleck, the Suttrop Geopark, the viewpoint on the Loermund in Sichtigvor and the Warsteiner Brewery visitor center.
