The 3-county mountain bike tour is a challenging circular tour offering a varied exploration of the Märkischer Kreis, Hochsauerlandkreis and Olpe districts. The starting point at Maiplatz in Plettenberg offers opportunities to stop for refreshments before the route runs through the Grünetal valley. Here, an initially flat section along the Grünebach stream marks the route, followed by the first moderate ascent, which introduces the dynamic characteristics of the tour. Continuing on, the region around Landemert opens up, where natural projects enrich the route. An extended descent then leads towards Finnentrop and on through varied landscapes to Frettertal, which is known for its trout farming. This section impresses with its smooth transition from urban to natural areas. The route then leads onto the Höhenflug, which offers impressive panoramic views of the surrounding topography, including the Glinge pumped storage power station. A striking ascent leads to the Schomberg tower, the ascent of which offers far-reaching views of the Sauerland mountains. The Wildewiese ski and recreation area serves as an established refreshment stop before the tour leads over challenging passages. The final stage leads over the Höhenflug to the Schlot and Schlade hiking parking lots, through idyllic meadow paths in the direction of Neuenrade-Birnbaum. After passing through the Plettenberg districts of Blemke and Eiringhausen, the circular tour ends at Maiplatz in the town center. There are various places to stop for refreshments along the entire route.
