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.
