Notice
In the tour planner we inform you under the tab "Current info" about temporary route changes, closures and detours.
You can design the 42.8 km circular route as you wish. Start at Beulskopf, Waldschwimmbad Thalhausermühle in Hamm, Marienthal or from Au station. Parking is available there. Ride the route completely or shorten it. At many points on the bike route, you can take a break and visit an attraction. The path leads over the Westerwald loop through romantically situated countryside such as the Bellingerbach valley, Holperbach valley, and Nister valley. A romantic view over the Sieg valley promises the Kanzels Ley with its lovers' arbour on good weather days. Another highlight is the German Raiffeisen Museum in Hamm: here, the speaking media artwork "Talking Head Raiffeisen" will amaze you. Of course, you can stop for refreshments at many places directly on the circular route, especially in the Marienthal monastery village. The pilgrimage site is something like the gateway to the "end of the world" on the Westerwald Steig. Wonder why? Go there, find out and enjoy your cycling adventure!

Free (hiking) parking:
We cycle from the Beulskopf, heading towards Pracht via Birkenbeul to Au (Sieg). In Opsen, through the large Sieg bend in Opperzau, the path leads along the Bellingerbach valley to Wäldchen. Then it continues towards Forst to Dellingen, Seifen into the Holperbach valley past the Seifermühle to Kaltau, Neuhöfchen, Hof-Holpe, and Pirzenthal. Upon arriving in Wissen, we cycle downhill into the Nister valley to Langenbach. Next comes the mountain stage to Bruchertseifen, Haderschen/Hofacker, Racksen, Marienthal. From here, we can return to Beulskopf via Hilgenroth, or ideally in summer, we cycle towards the forest swimming pool "Thalhausermühle" and enjoy a refreshing break there.
The steep climb in the Bitzen-Forst area leads partly through the forest and can become slippery when wet. -Also watch out for protruding branches there.
Take everything you need for cycling fun and enjoy the route!
For refreshment on a hot summer day, be sure to make a detour to the Waldschwimmbad Thalhausermühle, the largest natural outdoor pool in the Westerwald.
