Today, Rainer and Kalle went on a lovely ride through the Sauerland region. After the high temperatures of the past few days, it was very pleasant again today at around 23°C, and we enjoyed a sunny ride with fantastic views of the Bergisches Land landscape.

I used the early morning hours to enjoy the Sauerland Cycle Ring in all its beauty almost all by myself. So I could let nature work on me in all its splendor.

The tour has a total length of approx. 84 km.

Cities you drive through:

- Finnentrop ( Our starting point )

The SauerlandRadring is a circular route and it was easy for us to travel by car.

Today a wonderful XL bike tour for two with my neighbor @René through the green Sauerland on his touring bikes:

In fact, the SauerlandRadring largely runs on old railway lines with the well-known advantages: low inclines and declines, smooth asphalt and sideways from all roads.

Sauerland Radring, highly recommended. Great views, lots of nature, endless ice cream parlors 🙈 and the highlight is the railway tunnel 🚂 in Fehrenbracht

We parked in Bremke, opposite a bakery🥐🍞🍮.
A neighbor who went to get a roll suggested we always drive towards the bat tunnel first.😀
No sooner said than done👍🏽😉.
It's closed from October to April.
We took a break at Lennestrand😎 and at Schmallenberg👁️.
There were plenty of benches for that.
Unfortunately, we had to go along the road twice... …
