    A short railway line starts here at the old Loher train station, which has been preserved and on which you can experience a trolley ride in summer. You can find information about this here: nordbahntrasse.de/draisine/anfahrt

      You feel in the 1980s with some little things such as the timetable.

        Today's draisinenbahnhof and central access point to the foot, bike and skate path Nordbahntrasse in the Barmen district of Wuppertal has a history of more than 130 years ...

          Train station in the urban area of the then independent city of Barmen. After the construction of the Rhenish line, the stop was initially called “Unter-Barmen”. The station on the BME valley line of the same name did not yet exist at that time (this also applied to Wichlinghausen, which was initially called “Ober-Barmen” and the station in the valley was initially called Rittershausen until 1930). The name was later changed, but always with the addition of “Barmen” or, from 1930, “Wuppertal”, because there was Schwelm-Loh station further east on the same line! The many names were perhaps a little confusing, but of course this had nothing to do with the function of the station, which was quite distinct. In addition to the passenger wing, there was also a freight area and later the siding to the city's slaughterhouse station (works), initially called the “Kleinbahn Loh - Hatzfeld”. Therefore, a number of wagons had to be rearranged here, with the state railway locomotives bringing the freight wagons the few kilometers to the slaughterhouse station, until the connection was closed at the beginning of 1980. A particular mainstay here was later coal traffic, because after the goods had been reloaded in the bucket elevator, this load became then transported on the tram line, specifically to the power station at Clef (immediately next to the BME line near Barmen train station, where there was a direct, unfortunately located siding from the mainline until 1931). There was also a siding from station Loh to the “Clausen” area with several rail customers. If you research this area carefully and are a model railway enthusiast looking for a project for your mini railway, you will find a great and productive model in the Wuppertal-Loh train station, which would also offer a huge variety of landscapes with viaducts and tunnels in the immediate vicinity, with urban development and green spaces !

            The former station Loh is located on the Nordbahntrasse in the district of Loh with the possibility to drive up / down on Buchenstrasse or Rudolfstrasse. In the immediate vicinity or diagonally opposite is the Cafe Tacheles, a rustic Cafe, which invites you to linger. Furthermore, you have the possibility to drive a piece with a trolley on the existing rails at the former station itself.

              A very nice route. From Vohwinkel to Wichlinghaunsen it is a flat route, after that there is a section of the route that continues to climb but is still very manageable

                              Simply wonderful to cycle past Wuppertal. The view of the city from above was great. The entire tunnel is also a highlight.

                                  The Nordbahntrasse in Wuppertal is an approximately 22 km long, wide footpath, cycle path and inline skating path on the former railway lines 2423 (Rhine line) and 2713 (coal railway). It runs on a west-east axis along the northern slope of the Wuppertal urban area. The Northern Railway route is considered to be the longest inner-city former railway route in the world. On the route there are bridges and viaducts with a total length of one and a half kilometers as well as five tunnels with a total length of two kilometers. The route leads past numerous evidence of Wuppertal's industrial and transport history, residential areas, monuments and geological features,[1] which are described on around 90 accompanying plaques.

                                  Wuppertal can be challenging for cyclists due to its narrow valley and steep slopes. With the continuous and mostly ground-level northern railway line, a spacious and urban-planning alternative route was created for the first time, with over 100,000 people living in the immediate catchment area of one kilometer on both sides of the route. Numerous schools and public institutions, including the city centers of Elberfeld and Barmen, are close to the route and can therefore be reached at any time via the footpath and cycle path.

                                  The Nordbahntrasse connects Wuppertal to the national cycle path network (Corkscrew route and Niederbergbahn in the west, Barmer Kohlenbahn in the east) and is part of the Bergisches Panorama cycle path.[2] The ten kilometers of the route, which run through inner-city areas, are six meters wide and illuminated at night. In the outer areas of the city, the route is three and a half to four meters wide.
