Riding through Sauerland

In the Hochsauerland in motion

Hills, mountains, forests and valleys, nature parks and cycling trails invite you to go biking in the Hochsauerland. Whether mountain biking, racing cycling or leisurely cycling – we have cycling tours for every level of ability. For the more experienced, for example, the tour to the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park. For beginners, the route of the Bike Arena Sauerland – from Hallenberg Galgenberg to 20 km through the fields of the Hochsauerland. Beautiful! For those who would like some motor support, you can start with e-bikes. And for the pros, just head to Winterberg.
