Scenic Road in Naturpark Sauerland-Rothaargebirge

Highlight • Cycleway

I don't know what the title of this "highlight" means. Here on the road with a great surface you can ride a wonderful RR. But the Sauerland has a lot of that, and not just here!

Beautiful mining museum where you can take a small train ride underground. An experience for young and old! There is a restaurant right next door. The mining hiking trail starts here.
