    Due to the pleasant slope and relatively little traffic one of the best road bike routes of Iserlohn or Hemer. The route can be continued in the direction of Neuenrade or Hemer-Ihmert, Iserlohn-Kesbern, Hegenscheid or Altena.

    The Stephanopeler valley connects Hemer Sundwig with Garbeck and Balve. It can be from Sundwig to Heppingsen with very little slope beautiful and meanders through the beautiful valley. From Heider Mühle there are two crisp, but short climbs up to Schultenhof, which is great for a little breather. There are all the animals that belong to a farm, as well as coffee and cake and a beautiful view. From there to Garbeck down you will be rewarded with a great winding downhill route.

    The name of the small town of Stephanopel actually comes from the Balkans. At the end of the 18th century, Stephan Lührmann, a manufacturer and merchant in the field of canvas, traded heavily with the countries in the East and learned about place names that ended in -pol, which was derived from the Greek polis. Without further ado, he named the settlement in which he ran his business after himself: Stephanopolis or Stephanopel, as it is called today.
