Climb to Langenberg Transmitter

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A long but fairly steady climb. From the very bottom, the climb is about four kilometers long, with brand new asphalt. The road invites you to climb and take a quick descent.

Winding road up to Sender Langenberg

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The ascent directly from Langenberg is a bit winding through forests directly to the Langenberg transmitter. From there you have a beautiful view over the Ruhr area.

It then continues either wavy over the Höhenweg or down the Hüserstraße.
