The tour across the Brilon plateau begins and ends in the heart of the old Hanseatic town of Brilon with its historic town hall on the half-timbered market square. Get to know some of Brilon's charming villages and the geological features of the area.
Start at the Brilon market square, not far from junction 48, past the Jägerhof and down Friedrichstraße to Hubertusstraße, take the 3rd exit at the traffic circle (Keffelker Straße) and turn right into Galmeistraße before the level crossing.
The route continues above the hospital and out of the town to Bürgerwald in Petersborn. From there, the route continues through the Hilbringsetal valley to Hiebammen Hütte and loops through the forest to the quarry. Shortly afterwards, you pass the large crossroads straight ahead and then the route leads left down to the Aamühlen and into the Aatal.
After passing the B480, the route climbs uphill towards Wülfte and reaches the Brilon plateau. The route continues to Alme with one of Germany's largest springs - the Almequellen.
