À vélo de Soest à Möhnesee

If you’re up for a scenic ride in North Rhine-Westphalia, the route from Soest to Möhnesee is a fantastic choice! Starting in the historic town of Soest—with its charming medieval architecture and famous green sandstone churches—you’ll cruise south for about 19 km toward the sparkling waters of Möhnesee.

The surface is mostly smooth asphalt, so your ride will be comfy and quick. Expect a bit of climbing with around 217 meters of ascent, but the tranquil countryside and sections of dedicated cycle paths make it a relaxing pedal. Around the halfway mark, you'll start to feel the lush landscapes shifting as you gradually approach the hillier reservoir region.

Once you arrive at Möhnesee, take a moment to enjoy the expansive lake views. The “Westphalian Sea” is popular for its outdoor activities and has a historic dam that dates back to 1913. This ride delivers a great mix: quiet roads, gentle climbs, and a refreshing destination at the end!
