Finnentrop
Finnentrop
The GPX track of the route starts at Lennepark Finnentrop. However, you can of course start this circular tour at any point. From the P+R facility, a ramp provides barrier-free access to the bridge and the adjoining "Lennebalkon". There you can hover over the Lennepark at a length of 28 meters and a height of approx. 5 meters.
On the Lenneroute past Schloss Bamenohl, the route turns off into the Repetal. It goes slightly uphill through the small villages of the valley with nice places to stop for refreshments. Passing the Repetal golf course, you reach the Veischedetal valley and continue slightly uphill to the highest point of the tour at 500 m above sea level with great views. The route continues briskly downhill to the Biggesee, one of the largest reservoirs in Germany. Following the lakeside cycle path, you should not miss the detour to the Aussichtsplattform Biggeblick, which offers a unique view over the lake.
In the Hanseatic town of Attendorn, the Attahöhle cave and Burg Schnellenberg are well worth a visit. Through the Bigge valley, past the Ahauser Stausee and Schloss Ahausen, you will reach the starting point of the tour.
