June 17, 2022,SauerlandRadring - Unterwegs auf alten Bahntrassen

Great !!! A very nice tour over old railway lines. With two long and in between always small crisp climbs. Very beautiful landscape. Lots of eye-catchers - whether in the front yard or in the great outdoors. Enough and nice beer garden on the way. If possible, you should cycle the tour clockwise with start/end in Finnentrop. This gives you …

September 7, 2024,Unterwegs auf alten Bahntrassen 🛤 – SauerlandRadring

In beautiful weather we went to what is probably the most famous cycle path in the Sauerland, the SauerlandRadring.
It mostly runs on former railway lines and connects the towns of Finnentrop, Eslohe, Schmallenberg and Lennestadt.

At Finnentrop-Fehrenbracht we went through the Kückelheimer Tunnel, the bat tunnel, which provided a pleasant cooling down. It lives up to its name, because …
