The entire cycle path around the Bigge and Lister dams has been laid out and maintained in an exemplary manner. We do this tour every year, always a relaxing day for us here at the lake.

We drove to Olpe from the Waldenburger Bucht car park in Attendorn. We didn't see any place to stop for refreshments on this route to Olpe. There are several stations and toilets in Olpe and on the way via Sondern (west side). The tour is easy and too easy for everyone if you can sit in the saddle for 40 …

A really beautiful tour, I can only recommend everyone to do it. The cycle paths are amazing, the best asphalt without potholes or patchwork. 🥰🚴

The route to the Biggeblick viewing platform should be taken from the campsite

It is better to park in Kalberschnacke, where there are plenty of free parking spaces.

A very nice tour. For anyone who wants to go hiking or cycling on a Sunday.

Along the way you will always find an ice cream parlor or a restaurant for a little refreshment or a bite to eat.

Simply a nice tour 👍

It was cold, it was wet, it was fun. And once again everyone's ears stayed tuned. On the tour you have to carry the bike on your shoulder every now and then.
