From the Biggesee via Rahrbach to the Breitenbachtalsperre. Down the Eisenstraße, turn right to Deuz. Buschhütten, Hünsborn, Wiehl-, Agger- and Listertalsperre and back to the Bigge.

 Our route begins at the iconic biker meeting point Biggegrill at Biggesee. From there, we stroll along the small streets of the picturesque Negertal to the Rahrbach heights, which lead us to Littfeld. Then we continue through the tranquil heath area and the forests near Burgholdinghausen until we reach Altenberg. The next destination is the Breitenbachtalsperre.

From there, we head to Ruckersfeld and then to Lützel. A detour to the Gillerbergturm is worthwhile. Then we follow the Eisenstraße south. The 7 km long, almost curve-free section exerts an irresistible attraction – as if rolling into infinity.

Via Deuz, our way leads along the Sieg to Dreis-Tiefenbach, Netphen, and Siegen, over Buchen and Hünsborn. From Rothemühle, it continues to Wildbergerhütte. We leave the Wiehltalsperre behind us in the south and head towards Brüchermühle. From there it goes north to the Aggertalsperre, to the Listertalsperre, and back to the Bigge.
