This beautiful circular route leads entirely on paved paths through scenic and varied landscapes.

From Bad Laasphe the bike route follows the Lahntal bike path together until Feudingerhütte, just before Feudingen.

Here the route turns off into the idyllic Ilsetal - one of the most beautiful valleys in the Wittgenstein region. On a lonely district road, the route follows the meandering course of the Ilse stream.

Those with stamina can take a detour via the hiking trail B2 to the dreamy Weidelbacher Weiher. At the junction to Banfe, a short, steep climb leads up to the “Indel”, before descending with beautiful views into the widely opening Banfetal.

From Banfe, with its remarkable two-towered church, a bike path leads through the lovely valley via the villages of Banfe, Herbertshausen and Laaspherhütte back to Bad Laasphe.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

A detour to the Weidelbacher Weiher is worthwhile. The pond, covered with water lilies in summer, invites you to dream, and after a rest on the bench by the shore, you will have enough energy to make your way home.

On the way back, a visit to the village cafe in Laaspherhütte (located directly on the route) is recommended - open only on Sundays!
