The trademark of the challenging Upland Villages Tour, which is a varied alternative or addition to the Willingen MTB tours, is its constant ups and downs. Over a length of 49 kilometers, it leads through little-known villages, over mountain ridges and through fields as well as a forest trail through the Diemel valley. A small sporting challenge awaits just before the Osterkopf, but you will be rewarded with a magnificent panorama as far as the Kassel mountains.

    Cycling through the Sauerland is usually quite strenuous. This is different on the Möhne Valley cycle path - thanks to former railroad lines.
