  • Destination: Round trip - end at the starting point
The varied tour for MTB beginners and sporty everyday cyclists - also with E-MTB - in the heart of the Teutoburg Forest Nature Park.

We take you from the starting point at the ADFC station in Bad Meinberg along natural sections and agricultural paths to the Silberbachtal valley. From there on forest paths up to the ridge (watershed Weser / Rhine) of the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge and on a medieval Hellweg route towards Neuenbeken on the western edge of the mountains. You cycle down to Bad Lippspringe to the source of the River Lippe and the beautiful parks. Follow our route on hidden paths through the flat cultural landscape of the Senne to Fürstenallee with the historic Kreuzkrug inn. From there, you climb the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest for the second time on natural roads and roll steeply down to the Hangstein inn above Berlebeck. From here, a short detour to the Berlebeck Eagle Observatory is worthwhile, after which you cycle back to the starting point on small roads and through the fields.
