Difficulty
The Ruhr-Eder GeoRadroute connects the Sauerland with the Waldecker Land over 210 kilometers and leads through a landscape in which impressive natural scenery and exciting geological history combine to create a special experience. Along the route, views of valleys, mountain ranges and river courses that have been shaped by the geological forces of the past open up time and again. Quiet passages through forests alternate with open panoramas, in which the diversity of the region becomes clear. The Hallenberg - Medebach connection makes it possible to divide the 210 kilometers and ride two "circles", for example. This makes the tour a varied journey that appeals to both natural history enthusiasts and those who enjoy relaxed cycling.
