    Tips

    Very nice section with many details of previous use - such as signals and route stones. There are benches here for a break. Of course, the route also deserves a recommendation - drive well. It goes downhill in the direction of Opladen.

      On the Balkan route are always benches for a cozy rest.

        The route is pleasant to drive. Uphill, the slope is easy to handle. It's just almost exclusively straight ahead. Stop a track. I do not feel this as a minus point.

          The disused railway line - formerly: Balkan Express - is now a very well-developed cycle and walkway. With enough tolerance it works well here. There are enough nice resting places.
          Start is indicated in Opladen (train station) or the mouth of the Wupper near Rheindorf and destination: Lennep (a historic old town)

            The Rastbänke offer a very nice view from the railway line on the great landscape.

                Now in August 2022 panoramic benches have been added here and there. You can lie down comfortably and because of the distant undergrowth you can now enjoy the beautiful panorama while lying down.

                  In my opinion, one of the most beautiful and best rail bike routes in our area, especially from Burscheid to Opladen 🙂

                        On foot, by bike or with the blades, it is a great experience. The climb is very gentle and is therefore my preferred route from Leverkusen to Burscheid.

                              Great footpath and cycle path from Opladen via Burscheid and Wermelskirchen to Remscheid.

                                      Between Pattscheid and Kuckenberg there is a turnoff to the large bicycle shop "Edelhelfer" (formerly Campana). There is a lot to see there... 🚴‍♀️🌳🙋🏼‍♀️
