The road bike tour starts in Olsberg and leads along the Ruhr through villages such as Nuttlar, Bestwig, Velmede and Heinrichsthal before reaching Meschede. The route crosses the Ruhr in Meschede, passing Kaiser-Otto-Platz and Steinstraße. After the district hall, the route turns left and then immediately turns right again after a bridge passage. A moderate incline leads to the Hennesee dam. There, pedestrians have the option of crossing the Himmelsbrücke bridge. The tour continues evenly along the traffic-free eastern shore of the Hennesee to Mielinghausen Bay. This is followed by climbs towards Remblinghausen and Löllinghausen before reaching a significant point in Klause. The route then leads through Heringhausen and Gevelinghausen with a characteristically undulating profile. A final descent via Biggen finally leads back to the starting point in Olsberg, completing the circular route.
