On the tour to the mouth of the Lenne, you pass by castles and fortresses that offer plenty of opportunities to delve into the history of the region. But also interesting products of industrial culture provide an insightful look into the region’s historical development. Toward the end of the route, it passes more through towns, giving the cyclist an impression of the vibrant life in the Ruhr area. The last section provides relaxation again. On quiet paths, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the cyclist reaches the mouth of the Lenne into the Ruhr. The 140-kilometer-long route can be extended by about 100 kilometers through several excursions, which, like the route itself, are well developed. The first half of the Lenne route runs mostly on bike paths and quiet secondary roads.

The first half of the Lenne route runs mostly on bike paths and quiet secondary roads.
Between Plettenberg and Iserlohn-Letmathe, cyclists are increasingly guided over busier roads. Improvements to the route are currently being made through the construction of new bike paths or relocation of some sections. Very good train connections between Plettenberg and Iserlohn provide a way to bypass critical areas. This is recommended for families with children. More experienced cyclists can enjoy the "Fernblick variant" from Werdohl to Altena castle, offering a unique "elevation experience."
In the Hagen area, the route runs almost entirely on a paved bike path up to the Lenne mouth.
The majority of the route is asphalted. The few sections on unpaved forest, field, and riverside paths are topographically manageable. The route can be ridden well year-round except for a few days when snow is present.
