Nobility in the 21st Century: A new Fascination

Our bike tour starts at the main station in Bad Berleburg. The first stage takes us up to the old town with the castle. Here lives the princely family zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg.

A few meters we cycle through the beautiful upper town, after we ride down through the Berlebach behind the castle park. It goes to the left, along the Odebornklinik and the Rothaarbad.

After passing the Rothaarbad we reach the Ederradweg, which we follow in a westerly direction.

We cycle past the Berghausen train station and arrive at the mouth of the Truftemündung. We follow the course of the stream for several kilometers through the woods. At first, the path is gentle, but at the end it climbs steeply up the mountain. The effort should be worth it, because when we reach the top we see the "Golden Egg" in the middle of nature as one of the heavyweights on the art trail "WaldSkulpturenWeg" (Forest Sculpture Trail). Here we should take the time to view this striking works of art.

Downhill the route leads youback to the old town and the train station. A number of different restaurants and cafes line the route. Once in the city, the circular route ends again at the train station.

Take the A4 to exit Kreutztal - then follow the B508 and B62 - and change to B480 to Bad Berleburg.

Via the A45 - take the Dillenburg, Siegen or Olpe exit.

In the town follow the signs to Bad Berleburg Castle.

You can reach Bad Berleburg Main Station via Siegen or Marburg.
