The cycle path along the Altenau is an approx. 19 km long, family-friendly circular tour.

Family time together in nature - a great experience! The Teutoburg Forest/Eggegebirge Nature Park has therefore developed this 19 km long cycle path especially for families. It mostly runs away from busy traffic routes, but there are three places where you have to cross roads. After Husen, there is a slight uphill section, but overall the cycle path is easily manageable for children of primary school age and above.

There is a lot to discover along the way. Whenever one of the eight larger-than-life animals appears, there is always something special to see or experience. These are located directly on the cycle path and always match the habitat that surrounds them. It's worth stopping there and going on a discovery tour. The animals have been placed where there is something interesting for children to explore. A discovery box awaits at the orchard between Husen and Dalheim. Here, further discovery tours of the nature park are presented and it is explained how families can win the nature park discovery game.

The cycle tour starts at the Dammstraße hiking parking lot in Henglarn. The smiling bicycle shows the way. After 19 kilometers, the bike tour ends at the starting point.
