Elbschetalbahntrasse Cycle Path

The next four kilometers of the railway track route were released in August 2017. Very nice: paved from the beginning with design features such as gabions with a cyan-glass layer inside. The northern water-bound section next to the existing Ruhr Valley railway line is already a bit older and serves as a flood bypass of the Ruhr cycle path. Unfortunately, the southern section to Gevelsberg with the Silscheder Tunnel is still to come.

Very good alternative to Esborner country road if you are traveling via Witten direction Wuppertal. Currently (mid-2018), although it is briefly on country roads to the coal railway in Haßlinghausen, but with much less traffic.

I was directly impressed by the good routes, the high speed and good connections from the countryside to Witten. Highly recommended
