Motorcycle paradise
Willingen is the ideal base for a great motorcycle holiday'cause it's exactly between Sauerland and Waldecker Land/Ederseeregion and both regions are winding and therefore offer first-class motorcycle routes.
The Edersee is anyway an internationally known Eldorado for bikers and in the Sauerland there are numerous well-known routes, among others the 102km long Hochsauerland-Höhenstraßewhich runs with an 8 as a route between the towns of Medebach Winterberg and Schmallenberg. In total there are 10 elaborated great motorcycle tours in Sauerland, which are available as a roadbook at the Tourist-Info or at sourland.com.
On the Road there is a lot to discover: Mountains and lakes, dams, timberworks, numerous leisure facilities and sights. numerous cross-regionally well-known biker meetings on the way, among others, the ferry house at Diemelsee, the bigge grill at the Biggetalsperre, the ignition material at Lake Eder, Geronimos, Bikers Inn and Wolf's district at Lake Möhne or Stavros at Lake Sorpe.
The region offers motorcyclists everything their heart desires and in the evenings the party mile in Willingen offers a lot of "Après-Bike" possibilities.
Loud is out!
The 10 tours listed in the Sauerland Roadbook lead along the most beautiful spots in the Sauerland, which are therefore also visited by other tourists and rest seekers, especially on the numerous leisure lakes. Not only guests but also many Sauerlanders living on the typical motor routes often feel harassed by motorcycle noise.
Therefore, the noise-sensitive consideration of bikers is essential so that there will not be roadblocks for motorcyclists in the future!
Please set a visible (and audible) sign against motorcycle noise - loud is out!
Driving behaviour:
Most bikers in the Sauerland behave considerately and avoid high-touring driving in towns and in noise-sensitive tourist places. Be a model to the minority who do not do this and speak to your ruthless colleagues accordingly !

The Zoo Safaripark in Schloss-Holte/Stukenbrock between Paderborn and Bielefeld is one of the most popular family excursions in East Westphalia. From Willingen it is about 80km, the journey time is about 1 hour. For families who spend a few days longer in Sauerland, an excursion is quite worthwhile.
Originally launched as a pure safari park towards the end of the 60s, there is now a large amusement park with many fast-paced rides (including double looping roller coaster) and shows - but still the animals form the main attraction. At the beginning one passes through the large wild game enclosure among others. with white lions, tigers and giraffes with their own car or optionally by bus and then the amusement park is waiting.
A highlight is the trip in the monkey express through the monkey-free enclosure. Here one goes up close to the touch of the monkeys, who jump up to the bars of the train and can be literally fed out of hand. Originally, the monkey enclosure was also accessible by car, but after too many paint damage, bent antennas and side mirrors, the individual traffic through the monkey enclosure was stopped many years ago. Another highlight is the high rope course, which runs over the cheetah enclosure, which promises an exciting and exciting climbing. Season & opening hours: From Easter holidays until the end of autumn holidays in NRW. In school holidays open daily, outside the holidays usually only on weekends and holidays.

Segways are electrically driven and self-balancing. The driver stands between the two wheels arranged side by side on a platform and holds on to the steering bar. The Segway is steered by tilt motion, i.e. it drives in the direction in which the driver leans. As soon as the inclination sensors register that the driver tilts forward or backward, the wheels turn in this direction. The simple control does not require "introduction", guests can intuitively control the scooter after a few minutes and move out on an adventure tour. from 14 years of age Body weight 45-120 kg Helmet duty (helmet is imposed) absolute alcohol and drug ban weatherproof clothing and firm footwear (no high heels) Price: 69 Euro per person Participants: 4 to 9 persons - larger groups on requestDuration: about 2 to 2.5 hours Start: Parking B251 Departure Im Stryk, 34508 Willingen (Upland) or Upland Quad, Sportstr. 11, 34508 Willingen-Usseln SEGYTOUR Wocadlo
