Follow the bat...
A cyclist in front of the sketched silhouette of the Fledermaustunnel - the 689 m long highlight of the SauerlandRadring is the logo and signpost of the slightly hilly circular tour through the Sauerland. Most of the route from Schmallenberg to the Fledermaustunnel runs along a former railroad embankment. These historical roots can be seen again and again in various relics along the route. The short version (54km) of the SauerlandRadring turns off the main route in Kückelheim and then swings over the gentle hills of the Schmallenberg Hawerland back to the "stocking town" of Schmallenberg.
Note: The Fledermaustunnel is closed from November to April and is entirely for the bats that hibernate there. During this time, the signposted, somewhat more challenging winter bypass applies.
