Top Touring Cycling Routes to Balkantrasse
Tips
  • 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 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.
