On this route, you will encounter the water-rich Siegerland region. Through Hilchenbach's half-timbered village Ruckersfeld, you reach the largest reservoir in Siegerland, the Obernautalsperre. From here, you climb up to Forsthaus Hohenroth at 640 m, whose café and terrace invite you to linger. Your route continues to the Eder source, along the Eder river, and over Gillerberg back to Hilchenbach.

Welcome to Hilchenbach in the midst of the Rothaar Mountains!

Thanks to its exposed location on the main ridge of the Rothaar Mountains, Hilchenbach is the ideal starting point for mountain biking routes into Siegerland, Sauerland or Wittgenstein area. Both route bikers and marathon riders find great trails, as the region offers perfect infrastructure for beginners and ambitious riders. Whether on your own, with GPS navigation (available for rent at the Hilchenbach Tourist Information), or with a local guide – everyone can discover the most beautiful spots in the region by bike.

All routes conveniently start from the same starting point, the marketplace, Hilchenbach's good parlor. After your arrival, you can leave your car safely and enjoy your stay with your bike.
