From the start in Rüthen to Büren, the route is initially downhill. Then it's time to pedal hard to Bad Wünnenberg, as the route climbs steadily.

You cycle around the idyllically situated Aabachtalsperre dam, followed immediately by a steep climb to Bleiwäsche. The next section of the tour to Alme, where the source of the river of the same name is located, is downhill again. One last ascent and the tour ends in Rüthen.
