The Ruhr-Eder GeoCycle Route is a signposted long-distance circular cycling route between the Sauerland and the Waldecker Land. It runs through the Ruhr and Eder valleys and follows former railroad right-of-ways in some sections. At Lake Eder and in the GrenzWelten National Geopark, the focus is on Earth’s geological history and the development of the landscape. The route highlights geological, historical, and cultural connections along the eastern edge of the Rothaar Mountains and showcases natural and cultural landscapes in their broader context. There are places to stop for refreshments along the route.
