At just under 14 km, the WÜ 2 cycle route is also suitable for inexperienced cyclists. It leads through the meadows and fields to the north-west of Bad Wünnenberg, passes the village of Leiberg and offers impressive views above the village as far as the Sauerland and across the Paderborn plateau. A section of the route runs along the Königsweg "Hirschweg" trail, which was used by merchants in the Middle Ages.

The cycle paths around Bad Wünnenberg are marked with red and white NRW cycle signs (labeled WÜ =Bad Wünnenberg 1 to 8) and vary in length from 9 km to 25.1 km. They lead partly through meadows and fields, but also through forests around Bad Wünnenberg. Most of them are asphalted and therefore easy to cycle on.

The WÜ 2 cycle route has a length of 13.8 km. It starts and ends at the KuGA (Kneipp and Health in the Aatal) in Bad Wünnenberg. The route is also suitable for inexperienced cyclists. From Bad Wünnenberg you first come to the village of Leiberg. The road "Hohler Weg" is a section where you may have to push your bike. Bishops, counts and robber barons fought over the village of Leiberg in the Middle Ages. It was borderland between Franconia and Saxony, between the Duchy of Westphalia and the Prince-Bishopric of Paderborn.

From Leiberg, the route takes you to the Sintfeld, where you will find yourself on a historic trade route, the Königsweg "Hirschweg", along which merchants traveled in the Middle Ages. Above the village of Leiberg, let your gaze wander into the distance and enjoy the wonderful view, the sun and the wind. From the Paderborn plateau, cycle back to the town of Bad Wünnenberg. Here, at the end of the tour, you can visit the Aatal nature experience with its wide range of activities. Offers such as the Aatal adventure park, the adventure barefoot trail or the game reserve invite you to enjoy further activities.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Make a short stop in Leiberg and visit the Kneipp treading pool in the Empertal valley. The treading pool in the Empertal valley is beautifully surrounded by meadows and forests. The treading pool was completely redesigned with natural stones in 2007. The treading pool is fed by the fresh spring water of the Olweke stream. It is well worth taking a break from hiking or cycling and enjoying a refreshing footbath. Seating invites you to take in and enjoy the natural surroundings.
