July 18, 2025,Sauerland-Permanente RSC-Werne + Kahler Asten

Start: Free parking near the bridge between Hennesee and Vorbecken-Mielinghausen.

Test ride of our future Sauerland permanent route, run by the RSC Werne, "Through the Hochsauerlandkreis," plus a detour to the Kahler Asten.

A highly recommended, traffic-light-free tour with magnificent views, quiet paths, easy climbs, and exhilarating descents.
