Easy Gravel Bike Tours in Sauerland
You are just starting your gravel bike adventure or just want to go for a leisurely round of graveling? The circular tour from Brilon via Gudenhagen and Bremecke to Jickjackmühle is ideal for this. Although you will pass through a lot of forest, you will still be able to enjoy some beautiful views.
Therefor you have to master a small ascent at the beginning and after a short descent you will be challenged again. Once you have reached the Fohrenkopf, you have reached the highest point of the route and can then start your rewarding downhill run.
<pThe focus of this forest-rich route is the views - still showing the effects of Cyclone Kyrill from January 2007 years later.
Forest and panorama
To get to the mountains in the Sauerland, you don't necessarily have to be a great hiker. You can also enjoy the panoramas that open up on the mountain peaks on a gravel bike. Included is the popular Kahle Asten. From Bremberg you master the ascent right at the beginning of the tour. In the course of the loop, you ride through woods and over meadows, before the climb continues shortly after Liesen.
When it is warm in summer, graveling in the forest is particularly pleasant. The Stadtforst and Altenruuml;thener Wald provide pleasant shade. From the mountain paths you can enjoy wide views, not least because of the traces of the volcano Kyrill.
High up with the gravel bike
The Sauerland also offers a selection of tours for particularly sporty bikers that are sure to thrill you. Here you can rack up the altitude and really work up a sweat. Grab your gravel bike and go for a long ride through the Hochsauerland. The destination is the half-timbered village of Bruchhausen and the Bruchhauser Steine. Here you can take a break, put the bike on its side and enjoy the view. You should manage your fitness well on this route, because after just under 40km, the Hillekopf awaits you with a few metres of ascent and at the end you have to master a final climb.
The ultimate challenge awaits you on the Gravel Bike Tour from Winterberg via Westfeld-Girkhausen, Hunau and the Groß Bildchen. Over 70 kilometres and around 1,700 metres of altitude are covered on this tour. Highlights along the way are the Kahle Asten, the Hohe Knochen and the Sorpetal - with these beautiful places there is no lack of motivation on this tour.
