"The Robbers from Mordkuhlenberg"
The robber bike route is advertised as a day tour. Which for my taste with the route length of approx. 92 km is already borderline, even with an e-bike.
However, the tour leads through very beautiful terrain and idyllic corners. So I would recommend riding the tour over two days. Unfortunately, the signage is often very poor. So for a relaxed ride, the GPS data should be taken to the aid.

In the middle of the Dammer Mountains there rises a mountain, the Mordkuhlenberg, which used to be a robbers' den. Six robbers lived here named Eagle Eye, Goosequill, Iron Man, Cook, Goofy Man and the rough-legged Robber Captain. They had stretched thin threads to which silver bells were attached across the path that leads from Steinfeld to Damme and when the hooves of the horses in front of the carriages touched the threads, they made a sound. Then the robbers jumped out of their hiding place and robbed the travelers and traders.
