Balkantrasse

Great route that can bring you from the Bergisches Land to close to the Rhine. I recommend driving in the direction of Leverkusen, it goes well downhill - later you can drive back over the fields and the forest towards Müngsten. It's going to be a great day tour. There is also a crossing point with the Bergisch Panorama bike path. Here you have the opportunity to drive towards Olpe. So countless possibilities for tours. The surface is very easy to drive.

Burscheider station is a nice rest stop

The Balkan route is a former railway embankment that connects Opladen with Lennep as the cycle path.

Cycle to Leverkusen

The connection for cyclists and hikers between Opladen and Lennep! Shallow climbs and a panorama from the other side are worth an 'experience'.

Nice rest stop on the Balkan route

My "favorite street". Run from RS-Lennep to Leverkusen Opladen and in this direction then the whole time slightly downhill. Great to drive and not heavily frequented. I can only recommend.

nice beer garden

Great for rolling on good track!

A highlight of the train art. In several ways :-)

Just great to cycle here. In every sense.

Very nice. Only uphill in the direction of Wuppertal, but it is fun to cycle far away from any traffic.

You are back in the mountains and hardly notice anything of the slope.

Very nice railway line. Ideal connection to the Nordbahntrasse and the Ruhr.

The Balkan route from Burscheid to Opladen

A wonderful view is waiting here ...

Very good foot / bike path on the old railway line, away from traffic. Cycling is fun!
