This Highlight goes through a protected area
Please check local regulations for: Wiembachtal und Ölbachtal
Location: Burscheid, Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis, Bergisches Land, Cologne District, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Probably the most comfortable way to get from the Rhenish lowlands to the heights of the Bergisches Land by bike.

At the end of the route, the Bahnkof Opladen is optimally designed for cyclists.
