The way back leads over the gentle hills of the Hawerland and through Arpe – until you are back at our place.

    Route & GPX

  • SauerlandRadring

    84 km

    The classic for a long day: 84 km, mostly on old railway lines with gradients of no more than 3 %, linking Schmallenberg, Eslohe, Finnentrop and Lennestadt. From Selkentrop you join the ring in Schmallenberg after about 7 km via the short version. The highlight is the bat tunnel, around 690 m long; the ring is signposted with a red bat.

    This one also starts right at our place in Selkentrop: a quiet loop through gentle hills and small half-timbered villages of the Bauernland, with wide views over fields and meadows. At the shelter in Herschede a panorama board explains the surrounding ridges. Just follow the green sign.
