The hilly and winding tour along the picturesque route through the Ennepe Valley, via Rüggeberg and the Heilenbecke Valley, offers an unparalleled experience in the charming landscape of Ennepetal. Designed as a regional cycling tour, this circular route promises adventure seekers a perfect blend of nature and sporting challenge. The tour follows paved roads and charming forest paths lined with shady trees, providing welcome respite from the summer sun. At just under 20 kilometers in length, the route is ideal for those seeking a combination of relaxation and physical activity. Thanks to some elevation gain, this tour is particularly recommended for cyclists in good physical condition or those using an e-bike.
The tour starts at Klute. From there, it follows the L699, with a short stop for a well-deserved refreshment break in Ennepetal-Burg, before continuing to the impressive dam of the Ennepe Reservoir and on to Filde, finally reaching Rüggeberg, where the regional farmers' market invites you to linger. Whether you're looking for diverse natural landscapes or cultural treasures – this tour has something for everyone.
The route continues through the picturesque Hülsenbecker Valley, where on selected Sundays, whenever the Ennepetal Tourist Association hosts a "Song and Sound" concert at 2:30 p.m., a musical highlight awaits participants. The return journey leads back to the starting point, the Klutertbad, bringing this sporting adventure to a harmonious close.
For those bringing their own food and drinks, several rest areas invite you to linger. Alternatively, you can stop for refreshments at the Landhaus Filde (reservations recommended). A closer look at the landscape and the panoramic views makes it clear that this farm tour promises not only physical activity, but above all an idyllic nature experience. Anyone looking for relaxation and exploration should definitely not miss this unique cycling adventure!
