Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Arnsberg à Möhnesee

This scenic cycling route takes you from the historic town of Arnsberg to the beautiful shores of Möhnesee—perfect for a half-day adventure! Starting in Arnsberg, you’ll pedal away from the charming old town with its castle views and head north into the lush Sauerland countryside. The ride is mostly paved, with a mix of quiet roads and pathways, so you’ll be able to enjoy the rolling hills without worrying about heavy traffic.

You’ll climb a few gentle hills (total ascent around 350 meters), but the views and the smooth descents make it well worth the effort. Along the way, you’ll pass forests, meadows, and perhaps even spot the Ruhr winding its way through the landscape. There's a little bit of gravel and paving stones to keep things interesting, but the route is pretty manageable for most cyclists.

Your journey finishes at Möhnesee, a sprawling reservoir that’s a popular spot for swimming, picnics, and water sports. It’s the perfect place to relax and recharge after your ride. Don’t forget to check out the impressive dam before you head home!
