The Repetal cycle route is approx. 20 km long. Although you will cover a few meters of elevation gain on your tour, the route is particularly suitable for hobby cyclists and families thanks to the predominantly moderate gradients. The Repetal cycle route is a circular route. The GPX track starts at the hiking parking lot between Attendorn and Helden, but you can join the tour at any point.

It's not just the federal gold village of Niederhelden that is always worth a visit. The larger villages of Helden and Dünschede and all the other smaller villages in the Repetal also have their charm. If you take the Repetal cycle route, you can see the beauty of this region for yourself as it passes through Dünschede, Röllecken, St. Claas, Niederhelden, Helden, Repe, Rieflinghausen, Hofkühl and Berlinghausen as well as over the Sonnenberg. Information boards provide information about places of interest in the surrounding area.
