Bike Arena Sauerland - Around Kallenhardt No. 40

The route takes you through the Rüthen, Brilon and Kallenhardt forests. Highlights include the Hohler Stein natural monument and the heathland on the way back.

From the starting point at the church in Kallenhardt, the route heads west past the elementary school and the historic town hall via Burgtorstraße and then downhill towards Körtlinghausen Castle. A detour is worthwhile. However, the tour branches off to the right beforehand into the Glenne valley and leads along agricultural paths up to the so-called "Eulenspiegel". From there, after crossing the L 776, the route heads south again along the high ground of the Kalvarienberg. In the upper valley of the Glenne, the trail crosses it again and climbs around 30 meters until it branches off to the right and now follows the contour lines of the Sudlindenkopf and the Brilonscher Kopf. After a hairpin bend, the route follows a short section downstream. At the underpass of the L 776, the route branches off to the west and leads up the valley of a tributary stream into the Kallenhardt forest. Behind the spring area, the trail turns north to the edge of the forest and follows it westwards towards the Hoher Stein nature reserve. At the edge of the beautiful Wacholderheide, the "Hohler Stein" natural monument, which is also of cultural and historical significance, awaits bikers. Cycling around the limestone quarries, you return to Kallenhardt in a short time.
