On the tour to the mouth of the Lenne, you will pass castles and palaces that provide ample opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of the region. But also interesting products of industrial culture give a revealing insight into the historical development of the region. Towards the end of the route, the route increasingly passes through cities and the cyclist gets an impression of the pulsating life of the Ruhrgebiet. The last part of the route provides relaxation. On quiet paths, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the cyclist reaches the mouth of the Lenne into the Ruhr. The 140-kilometer route can be extended by 100 kilometers through several excursions, which, just like the route itself, are well developed. The first half of the Lenneroute runs mainly on cycle paths and quiet side roads. Between Werdohl and Iserlohn-Letmathe it is recommended to take the very good train connection, especially for families with children.

Safty guidelines
The first half of the Lenneroute runs mainly on bike paths and quiet side roads.Between Werdohl and Iserlohn-Letmathe, cyclists are increasingly guided along roads with heavier traffic. Work is currently underway to improve the routing by building new cycle paths or relocating some sections of the route. The very good rail connection between Werdohl and Iserlohn-Letmathe offers a bridging of the critical areas. This is especially recommended for families with children. For the somewhat experienced cyclist, the "Variante Fernblick" from Werdohl to Burg Altena offers a unique "high-altitude experience".In the area of Hagen, the route runs almost continuously on a paved bike path to the mouth of the Lenne River.The majority of the route is asphalted. The few sections on unpaved forest, field and shore paths are topographically easy to master. With the exception of the few days when there is snow, the route is easy to follow all year round.If there are detours, you will find them at www.lenneroute.de.
