Description by the author

The 40 km long Hennesee loop connects the Sauerland cycling ring on former railway tracks down through the picturesque Wennetal valley to the Ruhr valley, and follows the course of the Ruhr river to the district town of Meschede.
The Hennesee loop of the Sauerland cycling ring connects to the train stations in Meschede and Freienohl to the north and links the Sauerland cycling ring with the very popular Ruhr valley cycle path.
If you start the Hennesee loop in Meschede, you first cycle along the Ruhr river to Wennemen and then continue over hills, Eslohe, and Erflinghausen to Hennesee. You can reach the dam of the lake via the traffic-free perimeter path. The Hennedamm can be climbed (on foot) via the illuminated sky staircase in the evening. At Hennesee, cyclists have the opportunity to refresh themselves by or in the lake, but a boat trip also invites relaxation. This can also be used to shorten the route along the shore of Hennesee.
Currently, the Hennesee loop is still signposted with the logo of the Sauerland cycling ring - North loop.
