Naturschutzgebiet Stilleking und Homert Tour1

To start, a motivational descent in the terrain to Neuenhof Castle.

From there, it’s time to scramble up to Homert, but with manageable inclines. The ascent is rewarded with an exciting downhill ride through the forest and over gravel paths.

Being down means going back up again. What follows is from kilometer 10.5 a bone-hard long climb over forest paths. Once at the top, it’s an easy ride down to the Stilleking nature reserve.

After a section of looping, comes the downhill treat - about 400m of ‘black trail’ through the woods to Woeste.

Then it’s back to the starting point with a final climb (keep energy reserves ready).

Non-professionals like me take about 2 hours. Mainly hilly, with some steep sections.
