From Bad Laasphe, a well-maintained asphalt cycle path takes you first to Laaspherhütte and then through beautiful meadow landscapes via Herbertshausen to Banfe. After a short climb in the village, the tour leads above the Banfe valley to the turn-off to Hesselbach at the "Großer Bohnstein". After a break in Hesselbach, the route climbs steadily for around 2 km up to the Spreitzkopf. To reward yourself for the climb, take a detour to the wind turbines on the hilltop, which offer a fantastic view over the Wittgensteiner Land region. The tour then continues with beautiful views down into the Wabach valley and to the Ditzrod forester's lodge and then through the Gennernbach valley back to Bad Laasphe.

Directions

From the starting point at Wilhelmsplatz in Bad Laasphe, you first reach Laaspherhütte via an asphalted cycle path. The so-called "Promilleweg" takes you to Laaspherhütte without much ascent. Briefly take the country road and after about 300m return to the cycle path through beautiful meadow landscapes via Herbertshausen to Banfe. In the village, turn left briefly uphill and the tour leads above the Banfe valley to the turn-off to Hesselbach at the "Großer Bohnstein". Always follow the symbols. After a break in Hesselbach, the route climbs steadily for around 2 km up to the Spreitzkopf. To reward yourself for the strenuous ascent, take a detour to the wind turbines on the hilltop, which offer a fantastic view over the Wittgensteiner Land region. The tour then continues with beautiful views down into the Wabach valley and to the Ditzrod forester's lodge and then through the Gennernbach valley back to Bad Laasphe.
