Fahrradtour Oeneking - Naturschutzgebiet - Oeneking

The route is partially quite demanding. However, I had my 9-year-old child with me and with plenty of breaks in between, the route can certainly be managed. So bring plenty of time. We took 5 hours for it. Where the waypoints "cluster", we took a longer break and these are also the most beautiful spots on the tour to linger. First, there is Neuenhof Castle, then after the steep climb and when you step out of the forest, there is the large meadow (former troop training area) with great views, and when the weather is nice, it’s simply wonderful to sit in the grass. Then comes a small bridge where you can gather strength for the following steeper ascent. Passing by herds of livestock, you reach a fork in the path with benches and a grand view of Lüdenscheid. When you meet Stillekingstraße again, you’ve almost made it. Just briefly ride along the L696 (Caution! No bike path!), which isn’t a problem with a child who can ride. At the furniture store Sonneborn, we went into the local restaurant, recharged, and relaxed a bit. Afterward, we returned along the country road into Lüdenscheid with the exemplary bike path (we don’t even have that in the Rhineland!) and back to Oeneking. With children, it’s important to plan many breaks, patience, and outdoor games (badminton, ball, etc.) and take them along. Then it will work out! ;-) Otherwise, there is much to discover and see along the way. Especially for nature lovers.
