Sauerlandrundfahrt durch Südwestfalen am 6.9.2026

The Sauerland Round Tour through South Westphalia, culminating at the breathtaking Kahler Asten cliff, offers cyclists an unforgettable journey filled with challenging ascents and exhilarating descents. This route follows closely behind the professional UCI Sauerlandrundfahrt Elite race's final stage, providing amateur riders a chance to experience the thrill of racing on world-class terrain.
The tour spans approximately 130 kilometers from Arnsberg to Winterberg, featuring iconic climbs such as the Hirschberger Wall and Rochus Chapel in Eslohe. Cyclists can also opt for a slightly shorter 90-kilometer route that ends at Eslohe. Both routes wind through picturesque towns including Oeventrop, Meschede, Sundern, Schmallenberg, and Winterberg.
The event promises an engaging atmosphere from start to finish, with spectators lining the roads to cheer on participants as they navigate steep climbs and scenic descents. Cyclists who maintain an average speed of 28 km/h will enjoy exclusive access to a closed-off race course for their entire ride, enhancing both safety and excitement levels.
For those preferring a more leisurely pace or simply wanting to experience the route in public traffic conditions, all are welcome to pedal at their own comfort level until reaching the dramatic Kahler Asten. The event's detailed itinerary will be released shortly, giving participants ample time to prepare for this unique cycling adventure through one of Germany’s most captivating landscapes.
The Sauerland Round Tour is not just a race; it's an opportunity to explore stunning scenery and connect with fellow cyclists in the heart of Westphalia.
