26 km long circular tour in the east of the Hanseatic city Korbach - over asphalt and field/forest paths past the Strother Landwehr and the tower of the Dalwigker Warte.

Start at the entry point of the Ederseebahn cycle path (Wildunger Landstraße). First, follow the R5 and the GeoRadroute Ruhr-Eder towards Herzhausen/Edersee. At Sauren Breite, turn left onto Wildunger Landstraße and take the climb to Waldecker Berg (barbecue and rest area). Once at the top, continue along the edge of the forest, past the beekeepers' association's educational apiary. Korbach (with flower meadow and nature trail) continue north. On asphalt paths across the B251 and with a great view to the water tank on Strother Straße. Cross this road and continue along the outskirts of the town to the edge of the Korbachthe industrial area. After crossing the Arolser Landstraße, you pass the large halls of Continental AG and cycle further down into the Twistetal (cycling rest area) and to Berndorf (refreshment stop). Pass the church (worth seeing, Romanesque pillar basilica with a defensive tower) through the village (crossing the main road) and then on an ascending forest path to KorbachThe marker with the remains of the Landwehr (memorial stone). Continue through Strothe and along the county road to Meineringhausen (refreshment stop available). Here, you cross the Ederseebahn cycle path and cycle south out of the village. Continue through the fields to the gravel climb into Dalwigker Holz with its historic watchtower (with viewing platform). From here, follow the forest path north until you return to the Ederseebahn cycle path. Follow this path back to the starting point.
