From Siegen to the Druidenstein and the motorway church. Via the Oberste Henn to Bad Laasphe and Dotzlar. Over Erndtebrück, Lützel, Dahlbruch, Kredenbach and Dreis Tiefenbach back.

We meet at the "Markt" in Siegen below the Krönchen. With a small detour via Seelbach, we head into the Sieg valley, in Kirchen we turn east to visit the Druidenstein. The 25 million-year-old basalt rock and Celtic cult site still fascinates today. Then over the Windhahn to the next sight, the Wilnsdorf motorway church. A futuristic building, whose interior surprises.

Then over the Henneberg to Deuz, turn right, over Feudingen to Bad Laasphe and we dive deep into the forest, drive over the 644 m High Stein and reach the village of Riechstein with 295 inhabitants – probably the most beautiful part of the route. A stretch along the Eder river and in Dotzlar turn left over Sassenhausen to Erndtebrück. We ride over Lützel and turn right. A few spectacular curves and then before Hilchenbach turn left towards Grund. In Kredenbach turn left uphill and over Dreis-Tiefenbach back to the market square in Siegen.
