Willingen - Schwalefeld - Rattlar - Hemmighausen - Eimelrod - Neerdar - Bömighausen - Welleringhausen - Usseln - Willingen

Although there are rarely long climbs on this route, the constant ups and downs add up to almost a thousand meters of elevation and make the tour quite challenging.

From here, the route takes us over the mountain to Neerdar, through Bömighausen, and on to Welleringhausen. A small challenge awaits before the Osterkopf peak. Nevertheless, the view over Usseln to the Kasseler Berg makes up for every kilometer of the climb. A forest trail then leads through the Diemel Valley to the Strycktal Valley.
