Excursión ciclista de un día de Wickede a Arnsberg

This leisurely cycling route takes you from Wickede to Arnsberg, covering almost 28 km through the scenic Sauerland countryside. It’s mostly paved (nearly 90%!), so you can expect a smooth ride—just a few stretches of gravel or paving stones to keep it interesting.

Starting in Wickede, a charming town right on the Ruhr River, you’ll wind your way along quiet country roads and peaceful paths, gaining a gentle 320 meters of elevation along the way. There’s a mix of landscapes: open fields, shady woods, and maybe even a glimpse of the river. With about a third of the route being off main roads, it’s a great ride for those who prefer avoiding traffic.

You’ll finish in Arnsberg, known for its historic Old Town, castle ruins, and beautiful views over the Ruhr Valley. Why not celebrate with a coffee in the market square when you arrive? All in all, a rewarding day out for anyone who loves relaxed countryside cycling—with enough hills to keep things lively!
