Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Hirschberger Wall

Highlight • Climb

The "Hirschberger Wand" with its 33% gradient is really a blast! If you are in the area with a racing bike, you should treat yourself (after a good breakfast). The slope is not long, it may be just 150m, but it feels really vertical up the wall. I was up at 98% of my maximum heart rate 😅 It is certainly not optimal if you already have over 100 km in your legs before the climb 😁
Unfortunately, the municipality failed to put up a sign with a gradient of 33% below 😔

View of Hirschberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is traffic on the L735 - if that bothers you, you can alternatively use the cycle path, which has a good surface.

View from the Haar Ridge of the Teutoburg Forest

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view.
No wonder, because in this area is the highest elevation of the Haarstrang, a ridge on the southern edge of the Westphalian Bay.
At 391 m above sea level, this is the "Spitze Warte", which is located here near Rüthen-Hemmern at the eastern end of the Haarstrang.

Eringerfeld Castle

Highlight • Castle

Eringerfeld Castle, a feast for the eyes, unfortunately no longer open to the public. Housed a restoration until recently. Especially at Christmas, the appropriate decoration spread the Christmas spirit of the first order.

July 20, 2025,💯 RTF Rietberg über Hirschberg und Warstein 🌤

Today, the most successful cycling club (in popular sports) in Germany in 2024, the RSC Rietberg, organized a RTF (cycling tour) that I didn't want to miss 😊 In perfect conditions, I set off on the varied, scenic route with almost 400 other amateur cyclists of varying abilities. Amateur racers and triathletes also regularly use RTFs as a welcome training …
