Gita in bici di un giorno da Winterberg a Willingen

Hop on your bike in Winterberg, a cozy mountain town known for its ski slopes and gorgeous landscapes in the heart of the Sauerland. Your journey to Willingen is about 21 km of rolling hills, forests, and fantastic views—perfect for anyone who loves a mix of adventure and scenery.

The route winds north, mostly along quiet roads and forest tracks, making it peaceful with hardly any busy traffic. With nearly 470 meters of climbing and some fun descents (you’ll actually lose more altitude than you gain!), you’ll definitely get your legs working but also enjoy those speedy stretches downhill.

Around two-thirds of the ride is on paved or asphalt roads, but expect some gravel and a few rougher patches as well—nothing too gnarly, just enough to keep it interesting. At the finish, Willingen greets you with its own ski and biking vibe, plus a legendary annual mountain bike festival if you’re lucky to catch it. Both towns are hotspots for outdoor lovers, and this route shows off the best of Sauerland’s green hills and valleys. Enjoy the ride!
