    On this route you will find beautiful single trails uphill and downhill. There are long ascents where you can use the big chainring, but also some where you might think you'd prefer a few more teeth on the cassette. I can tell you, this route is a lot of fun for me. Another advantage of this routing is that you are not far from Willingen and can shorten the route at some points.

    The route once again goes over the Pön. Nevertheless, I told myself that the area has so much to offer that a day route is a must. The focus is on the Pön trail area, followed by the Alter Hagen trail area, and then we take a detour to the Rimberg above Niedersfeld, where we can improve our switchback technique.

    As always, when we are on the Winterberg side of the ridge, we can enjoy the ascent to the Hochheide and finally the Willingen Green Trails or the bike park tracks as we please. A stop is also possible: The Graf Stollberghütte is a bit off the route and in my opinion a bit too early, but the Hillesee reservoir comes at just the right time. The Hochheide hut is suitable for a cozy finish, and those who want it tougher can have their beer at Siggi's hut. But beware, when going down the Ettelsberg, alcohol takes effect especially quickly after 1180 meters of elevation gain.
