Nordbahntrasse – View Over Wuppertal

The Nordbahntrasse in Wuppertal is a roughly 22 km long, extensive pedestrian, bicycle and inline skating route on the former railway routes 2423 (Rheinische route) and 2713 (Kohlbahn). It runs on a west-east axis along the northern slope of the Wuppertal urban area. The Nordbahntrasse is the longest inner-city former railway route in the world. There are bridges and viaducts with a total length of one and a half kilometers and five tunnels with a total length of two kilometers along the route. The route leads past numerous testimonies of Wuppertal's industrial and traffic history, residential quarters, monuments and geological features, [1] which are described on 50 accompanying plates.

On the way to Schwelm we used the beautiful Nordbahn route again.
