Cycle Path Between Plettenberg and Landemert

Highlight • Cycleway

A very nice bike path runs parallel to Kroppstrasse. You'll just fly along on the smooth asphalt.

Cycle path in Grünetal along the Grünebach

Highlight • Cycleway

The bike path initially climbs slowly, but then also has a more demanding slope.
The rest area bank on the cycle path in the middle between Plettenberg and Landemert is recommended.

A beautiful sunny, but cold day. Given the nature and the variation of and in the route (almost 90% separate cycle paths) a beautiful tour. However, it does not live up to its name. Few "Burghten und Schlossen" seen on or in the vicinity.

Today we went along the Bigge & Lenne to Plettenberg. The scenery is very beautiful with well-developed cycle paths. The return journey stretches over several kilometers with very long and moderate climbs. For the descent, everyone should have good brakes on their bike as it goes downhill quickly on a winding route.
