While the Ferndorf gently flows through the valley, you circle this valley along the surrounding mountain slopes. After climbing Gillerberg, you ride along the Ferndorf source over the ridge to Kindelsberg. A rapid descent takes you down to Kreuztal. On the southern side of the valley, you climb up again and ride back through meadows and forests to Hilchenbach.

Welcome to Hilchenbach in the heart of the Rothaar Mountains!

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

Advantageously, all routes start from the same starting point, the Market Square, Hilchenbach’s living room. After your arrival, you can safely leave your car and enjoy your stay with your bike.
