You will encounter many cultural and historical sights along the route through the beautiful Alme valley and its villages and towns. You start at the historic town hall of the old Hanseatic town of Brilon. The rest of the route takes you to Büren with its baroque Jesuit church and college. A little later, the only triangular castle in Germany, Wewelsburg Castle, will cast a mystical spell over you.
Before you reach your destination, the impressive Weser Renaissance castle of Neuhaus, cycle past the old railroad bridge in Salzkotten, the historic Mallinckrodthof or take a detour into the city centre of the old episcopal city of Paderborn. The Alme cycle path is continuously marked with blue signs with the inscription "Alme-Radweg" from the source to the estuary.
