A varied mountain bike tour in the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park. Most of this lovely route follows unspoilt trails, with a section on gravelly forest tracks. Depending on how fast or slow you ride, the route becomes easier or more challenging. So if you prefer a more leisurely pace, the ‘A’ route is also well suited for children. Afterwards, why not pay a visit to the wildlife park, which is very close to the starting point.

From the Eichenkamp hiking car park, you follow old trade routes up to the Großer Storchenschnabel, from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Sauerland. The circular route also leads past the Grubenteich pond, which is used by the Kallenhardt volunteer fire brigade as a fire-fighting pond.

A varied day trip from Warstein to Rüthen through the Bilsteintal wildlife park, where, with a bit of luck, you can spot red deer, foxes and wild boar. The wildlife park is freely accessible all year round and free of charge, but dogs must be kept on a lead. Other highlights include the three Kahlenbergsköpfe and Körtlinghausen Castle. The tour is suitable for both mountain biking and walking, but depending on the weather, it can quickly become muddy.
