Motorradhotels im Sauerland

This hotel is in Willingen (Upland), on the Hesse side of the Sauerland, around 15 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten. Willingen is a resort town known for its ski jump, and it is a short run to Winterberg, Brilon and the Diemelsee reservoir to the east. For riders there is a garage and covered parking, a place to dry wet gear, wifi, and route tips from the hosts. That mix suits a stay of a few nights: ride out on different loops each day and come back to the same dry kit and a locked bike.

This hotel is in Willingen, on the Hesse side of the Sauerland, about 16 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten. It is set up with riders in mind: there is a garage for the bikes, the hosts offer route tips, guided rides are on offer, and the owner rides a motorcycle too. A guided ride is a quick way to learn the back roads of the Upland and the hills towards Winterberg and Brilon. Guided rides run on particular days, so ask when you book, and confirm garage space if you are travelling as a group.

Haus Dumicketal is near Drolshagen, in the western Sauerland, a few kilometres from Olpe and the Biggesee. Our Sauerland Loop runs past the Biggesee, and from here you can join it without first riding across the region. Bikes go in a garage, guided rides are offered, and the hosts know the roads around the lakes well enough to suggest a day out. The western Sauerland is closer to the Rhineland and Ruhr than the high ground around Winterberg, which makes this a good first night if you are riding in from the west after work on a Friday.

Waldhotel Einstein is in Boeminghausen near Kirchhundem, in the southern Sauerland below the Rothaargebirge. It is a forest hotel, with the Biggesee about 20 km to the west and the Kahler Asten about 28 km to the north-east in a straight line, so both halves of the Sauerland are within a short ride. The owner rides too, the bikes sleep in a garage, and you can ask for route suggestions over breakfast. Expect quiet surroundings and little traffic: a place to sleep well between days on the road rather than a town base for evenings out.

Haus Recke is in Binolen, in the Hoenne valley between Balve and Menden, in the north-western Sauerland. The valley road follows the river past limestone cliffs, and the Sorpesee, which our Sauerland Loop passes, is a short ride east. The owner is a rider, guided rides are offered, bikes are kept in a garage, and route suggestions for the area come with the stay. Being on the north-western side of the region, it is also easy to reach from the Ruhr. Guided rides do not run every day, so check dates before you travel.

Hotel Haus Herrloh is in Winterberg, about 3 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten. Our Sauerland Loop starts in Winterberg, so you can ride it as a day trip and be back for dinner. There is a garage for the bikes and the hosts can give route tips for other roads in the area, such as the run south through the Rothaargebirge to Bad Berleburg. Winterberg has shops, fuel and places to eat close together, which helps on a short stay. In the ski season the town is busier, so book early if you ride outside the summer months.

Hotel Panoramablick is in Wildewiese, a small hilltop village above Sundern in the central Sauerland. The Sorpesee is about 10 km to the north, and our Sauerland Loop runs past it, so you can join the route without a long ride. Bikes are garaged, and you can ask the hosts for local route tips. Wildewiese is a tiny place with a small ski slope, so expect quiet evenings and fresh air rather than a choice of restaurants. Bring what you need for the evening, or check meal times when you book.

RAUSZEIT NaturBoutique Hotel garni is a breakfast-only hotel in Willingen (Upland), on the north-eastern edge of the Sauerland. The rider side is well thought out: a garage plus covered spaces, a bike wash, somewhere to dry gear, wifi and route tips for the area. As a garni, it serves breakfast but no evening meal, and Willingen has plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Winterberg and the Kahler Asten are about 16 km away in a straight line, so the high Sauerland roads are close. Book ahead in winter, when the ski crowd arrives.

Hotel Karger is in Wadersloh, north of the Sauerland in the flat Muensterland near Lippstadt. It is a practical stop if you are coming down from the north or from the Netherlands: the Sauerland hills start south of the Moehnesee, roughly 40 km away, and Winterberg is further south again. You get covered parking for the bike, a spot to hang wet kit, wifi, and local route suggestions. Think of it as a first or last night on a Sauerland trip, with an easy ride in the next morning, rather than a base in the hills.

Hotel Palatino is in Sundern-Langscheid, on the northern side of the Sauerland, about 42 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten. Bikes go in a garage, so you can leave luggage on the bike overnight. From here the rest of the region is reachable in a day ride, and you come back to the same room each night. If you plan to ride early, ask how to reach the garage before breakfast and whether the hotel keeps a key for guests.

Hotel Waldfrieden is in Medebach, on the eastern edge of the Sauerland, about 12 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten. It offers a garage for bikes, which is the thing most riders ask about first. Medebach is a quiet base for loops through the higher parts of the region. Book ahead if you are coming on a summer weekend with a group, and confirm how many bikes the garage takes so nobody ends up parked outside.

Hotel-Restaurant Sankt-Meinolf is in Möhnesee, on the northern edge of the Sauerland, about 40 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten. As the name says, it has its own restaurant, so dinner is sorted after a long day. Bikes go in a garage. It is a handy first or last night if you are coming into the Sauerland from the north. Mention when you book that you are arriving by motorcycle so they can point you to the garage.

Bed and Breakfast Isidorius is a small B&B in Grönebach, in the Sauerland. The Kahler Asten is about 7 km away in a straight line, so the high ground of the region is right on the doorstep. There is a garage for bikes, which matters when the weather turns overnight. As a B&B, breakfast is the meal you can count on here, so sort out where you will eat in the evening before you arrive. If you are riding as a group, confirm garage space for every bike when you book.

Bed&Breakfast Winterberg puts you in Winterberg itself, in the Sauerland, with the Kahler Asten about 3 km away in a straight line. Bikes go in a garage, so you can leave luggage on and sleep easy. Being a B&B in town, it suits riders who like to walk out for dinner and keep the evening simple. Use it as a base for day loops around the Sauerland and come back to the same room each night. Ask how many bikes the garage takes when you book.

Biker-Pension Arnold is a guesthouse in Dodenau, on the eastern side of the Sauerland, about 19 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten. The name says who it is for, and the facts back it up: there is a garage for bikes and the hosts can give you route tips or route descriptions for the area. That makes it a practical stop if you want to ride local roads rather than plan everything yourself. Tell them roughly when you expect to arrive so the garage is open.

De Gasterei is in Winterberg, in the Sauerland, about 2 km from the Kahler Asten in a straight line. For riders it offers three useful things: a garage for the bikes, route tips or route descriptions for the area, and guided rides. If you are new to the Sauerland, a guided ride is an easy way to learn the roads before you head out on your own. Ask about guided ride dates when you book, as they may not run every day.

Ferienpark Hollandia sits in Bestwig-Föckinghausen, in the Sauerland, roughly 23 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten.

Gasthaus Esseltal is a village inn in Eslohe, close to the middle of the Sauerland and about 24 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten.

Its central spot means most parts of the region are within a day ride and back. Ask the owner for a local loop or two when you check in.

Gasthof Walhalja is a village inn in Winkhausen, part of Schmallenberg in the Sauerland, about 10 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten.

Gasthof Zwilling is a village inn in Schmallenberg, in the Sauerland, about 11 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten.

Hotel Cafe Sassor is in Battenberg-Dodenau, on the eastern side of the Sauerland, about 19 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten. It is set up for riders: the owner rides a motorcycle, there is a garage for bikes, and you can get route tips or route descriptions as well as join guided rides.

Ask about the guided ride programme when you book so you can plan your days around it.

It has a garage for bikes and can give you route tips or route descriptions, which is what most riders need from a small place. A Pension like this usually means a personal welcome and a simple room. Use it as a base for loops through the higher Sauerland, and ask your hosts for the roads they would ride.

Hotel Engemann Kurve is on the edge of Winterberg, about 3 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten, the high point of the Sauerland. Our Sauerland Loop starts in Winterberg, so you can be on the forest roads within minutes of loading up. The rider basics are covered: a garage and covered parking for the bikes, somewhere to dry wet gear, and wifi for checking the weather radar in the evening. Ask the hosts for route tips if you want local roads beyond the loop. Winterberg is a ski town, so it fills up in winter; in riding season it is an easy base for a few days.

This hotel sits north of Winterberg town centre, about 6 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten, in the high, wooded part of the Sauerland. Bikes get covered parking, and there is somewhere to dry kit after a wet day plus tools or a workshop corner for small repairs, which is handy when a chain needs adjusting or a bolt has worked loose. The hosts can give route tips for the area, and wifi helps with planning. Winterberg is the start of our Sauerland Loop, so this works well as a base for two or three days of day rides without repacking.

This hotel is in Bad Berleburg, in the Wittgenstein area at the south-eastern end of the Sauerland. The B480 runs north from here to Winterberg through the Rothaargebirge, a good warm-up for a day in the hills; the Kahler Asten is about 16 km away in a straight line. Bikes stand under cover, wet jackets can be dried overnight, and the hosts will point you to local roads; wifi is included. Bad Berleburg is a small town with a palace and a compact centre, so you can park the bike for the evening and walk to dinner.

Hotel Jager Hof is in Elkeringhausen, a small village just outside Winterberg, about 6 km in a straight line from the Kahler Asten. Winterberg is where our Sauerland Loop starts, so the forest roads begin almost at the door. There is a garage for the bikes, the hosts can give route tips, and the owner rides a motorcycle, which usually means a good steer on which roads are worth it and which to skip after rain. Elkeringhausen is quiet, so plan on eating at the hotel or riding into Winterberg in the evening.
