Plettenberg: City-Country-River Tour

The Plettenberg: Stadt-Land-Fluss Tour is a challenging regional cycle tour in the Märkischer Kreis district that requires cyclists to be in good physical condition. Designed for mountain bikes, pedelecs and experienced touring cyclists, the route primarily uses asphalt and wooded passages. There are plenty of places to stop for refreshments along the entire route. The circular tour starts in the center of Plettenberg and opens up a varied topography with climbs and far-reaching views. It passes Attendorn, leads into the Biggetal valley to the imposing Biggetal dam and over an upper reservoir into the picturesque Repetal valley. Panoramic views, fine dining and historic half-timbered houses await you there. The route follows the Repe and Lenne rivers, passing industrial monuments and castles. The route leads through villages with promenades and renovated half-timbered houses to the ruins of Schwarzenberg Castle. The final section leads back to Plettenberg, where gastronomic establishments provide the perfect end to the tour.

95% of the tour is on asphalt paths (cycle paths and smaller roads), the 2 forest path sections are suitable for touring bikes.
