    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.

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