The Black Rabbit Tour is part of Willingen's MTB trails for children. These are so well connected and signposted that parents and children can decide which route they want to take and how long the route should be during the tour.
Important: These difficulty profiles are only guidelines – they can, of course, vary from child to child. Children should not ride alone here. Mountain bikes are required in all cases. Riding the trails is at your own risk. Sometimes hikers or even motorized traffic may share the same paths.
The black rabbit tour only begins with the red rabbit sign.Best Season

Directions
- From the visitor center, the trail climbs briefly below the fairytale park into the Stryck hiking area, past the Mühlenkopf ski jump, where we cross the ski jump exit, and then follow the idyllic Itter stream. At the end of the Strycktal valley, the trail continues following the signs for the Black Rabbit.
Black here represents not only effort but also technical sections. Experience has shown that mountain bike kids usually have no problems here, but some parents who don't ride mountain bikes might have a problem here.
From the Strycktal valley, it's a long climb to the Hillekopf (800 meters above sea level). From the Hildfelder Höhe, a beautiful trail area begins. Most of the route runs along the state border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, awakening the sense of adventure in the rough terrain in the children. Even the most beautiful trails pass by sometimes, but the tour has much more to offer. After the panoramic view from the Krutenberg, a very steep descent follows. In the middle of the descent, the trail turns left again into the forest, where a natural path leads to the next decision point. If the kids are tired, they should follow the blue hare. Willingen We haven't provided a separate tour description for the Blue Rabbit.
Our black rabbit tour now continues on the red rabbit tourWe follow the red hare trail gently uphill. We pass a mountain hut called "Zur schönen Aussicht" (Beautiful View) with a magnificent panorama of the Sauerland and the deep valleys. Without much effort, we reach the Graf Stollberg Hut, which, with its spectacular view of the Sauerland, invites you to stop for a break. Behind the hut, a natural path leads to the Diemel spring. A little "pampering" with the water, as the Willingen locals say, and our tour continues.
Behind the guesthouse "Das Orange Schaf" in Usseln, the red Hasentour climbs a very, very steep 200 meters. There's an alternative route, following the blue Hasentour, but you'd miss a beautiful single trail. The next and final highlight is the EWF biathlon facility. With a little luck, you can watch the young athletes running and shooting. So, now you're almost there. One more steep climb to get out of the stadium area, and then it's a comfortable ride to Willingen However, you should expect traffic from the Stryck entrance onwards. Tour features
