    This is the start and end point of the so-called Balkantrasse, a former railway line, from Opladen up to Lennep. The entire route is around 30km long with a very moderate gradient that is easy to manage and first-class asphalt.

    Unfortunately there is a gap in Wermelskirchen, where you have to drive through the town, but otherwise it is highly recommended.
