After starting in Neuenrade, the tour initially follows the western shore of Lake Sorpesee for a few kilometers. After passing through the town of Sundern, the route continues undulating via Hellefeld to Berge in the Wenne valley. The route follows this on the former railroad line of the SauerlandRadring to Schmallenberg. Now follow the open and agricultural Hawerland to Eslohe. As far as Fretter, you follow the railroad line of the SauerlandRadring again and cross the famous Fehrenbracht railroad tunnel, also known as the "Fledermaustunnel" because rare bats spend the night in it during the winter months. Now begins the long ascent to the highest point of the tour at Röhrenspring. On the following descent, the tour follows the Röhr valley to Endorf. From here, the route undulates via Stockum, Allendorf and Affeln back to the starting point in Neuenrade.
