Rüthen
After a leisurely start, the first climb up to Kallenhardt awaits, past the limestone quarry. Via Warstein, the site of the famous brewery of the same name, we reach Hirschberg and its historic town center after a long climb.
Via a long downhill we leave the district of Soest in the direction of Arnsberg. Several times we cross the Ruhr here. The Arnsberg forest is crossed evenly uphill to the Möhnesee. There it goes absolutely flat first on the south shore and then along the west shore to Günne. Here the Haarstrang, which separates the Sauerland from the Soest Börde, gets in our way. A long and steady descent with a wide view over the Börde to Soest awaits us.
We leave Soest in a northwesterly direction to Bad Sassendorf, a well-known spa town, and ride parallel to the Bundesstraße 1, which also follows the Hellweg, a historic trade route. Only a few meters of altitude await us on the next kilometers. After crossing the A44, the tour climbs very slightly but steadily to Rüthen, the starting point.

A rescue point system is installed throughout the region (Soest district, Hochsauerlandkreis district, Märkischer Kreis district, Olpe district and Siegen-Wittgenstein district). Rescue points can be found, among other things, on the information boards at the junctions of the Südwestfalen bike network.The racing bike tours of the Bike Arena Sauerland run on roads on which motorized traffic is to be expected.
