Garenfelder Weg

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful, quiet road between Garenfeld and Berchum, along hills and fields. A good, low-traffic option for avoiding the main road.

The Kückelheimer Fledermaustunnel welcomes the approaching cyclist from a distance with his cold breath. Even in midsummer temperatures, it is refreshingly bold in the tunnel and it drips in many places. A real highlight on the Sauerland Radring.
Important: over the winter months, the tunnel is closed so as not to disturb the hibernation of the eponymous bats. A bypass is signposted.

Altena Castle

Highlight • Castle

Above the Lenne Valley, Altena Castle sits on a steep mountain ledge. If you are too lazy to climb up using your own muscle power, you can take the elevator that leads from the valley directly to the castle. There is a lot to see at the top of the castle. In addition to the museum, the first youth hostel in the world is located there. There is also food and drink available. The castle also looks beautiful in the dark because it is illuminated.
