This circular cycle tour impressively combines nature and history experiences within the Medebach Bay. As you cycle through the unspoiled natural scenery, you will see evidence of past eras. These include, for example, the Jewish cemetery on Glindfelder Weg and accompanying information boards from the local history association. A detour to the geological outcrop on the Bromberg enriches the tour with scientific aspects. The route is mainly on asphalted and paved paths that run along idyllic forest edges. The strategically located Kuckucksuhle and Weddelberg hills offer far-reaching panoramic views of the Medebach urban area.
Information
Directions
The circular cycle route is signposted throughout with a green "M4"and we start the 13 km long circular tour from the tourist information office on the market square. From here, we first follow the Oberstraße to the Glindfelder Weg junction (REWE market), which we follow to a stone cross just before Glindfeld. Now we turn right towards the "Krämershagen" settlement. Shortly before the Medebach-Küstelberg country road, we turn left onto a gravel path, which we follow uphill for approx. 1.5 km to the country road (Hof Rennefeld). Now cycle carefully on this road to the right as far as the former quarry at Bromberg, from where the tour takes us uphill to the left and we finally reach the "Kuckucksuhle". We continue along this paved path until we reach the Medebach-Oberschledorn country road, where we turn right 300 m along the cycle path and then onto the farm track, which leads us back to Medebach through the Weddel.
