A gravel or e-bike route that gives us an impression of the Hochsauerland. With key points Küstelberg, Elkeringhausen, Ruhr source, Hillestausee, and over the Niedersfelder Hochheide back to Willingen. The route is designed without technical demands, so it can also be ridden by practiced narrow-tyre riders. Otherwise, I would prefer a somewhat coarser tread profile
We from Waldhotel Willingen have put together a route that is perfect for you and your e-bike or gravel bike. The route is technically uncomplicated and thus suitable for everyone. However, you should bring a certain level of fitness, as the route includes some challenging climbs.
On this route, you will get an insight into the tourist hotspots Willingen and Winterberg. Discover the landscapes and experience the beauty of nature up close, and let yourself be enchanted by the idyllic atmosphere.
Author’s recommendation

nice old town with many places to stop and eat
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
