        59929 Brilon

    With only slight climbs up to the Poppenberg and the Hütten- and Fohrenkopf, this easy tour is ideal for beginners to gravel biking or an excursion with children. The circular route starts at the golf course in Brilon and mostly leads through the forest, but still offers numerous views of the Sauerland landscape. The route owes its name to the Jickjackmühle mill, which was destroyed and rebuilt several times. Before you reach the hiking parking lot of the same name and the tour leads through the valley back to Brilon, you are rewarded with a wonderful descent.

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