Nordbahntrasse

It has never been easier to cycle comfortably through the quite mountainous Wuppertal and enjoy great views.

Pleasant one does not come from Wuppertal-Vohwinkel from the valley to Sprockhövel - and the view over Wuppertal is sometimes really impressive.

As the largest project, the association is responsible for converting the route of the disused Wuppertaler Nordbahn - section of the Düsseldorf-Derendorf – Dortmund Süd section to a pedestrian and bicycle path. This includes the preservation of the listed art structures, including six tunnels and four stone viaducts that shape the cityscape.
The particular urban significance of the Nordbahntrasse lies in the fact that a continuous cycle path is being created for the first time in Wuppertal, which has so far been unsuitable for cyclists due to its narrow valley and steep mountains. Over 100,000 people live in the immediate catchment area of one kilometer on either side of the route. Numerous schools and public facilities are in the vicinity and can therefore be reached on a daily basis via a foot and bike path on the Nordbahntrasse.

The entrance is at the breakpoint Bracken. "downhill" leads to Wuppertal. In the other direction to the Schee tunnel to Sprockhövel or Witten. Actually it does not matter ..... all directions offer their charm.

In the area the route with the most tunnels.

The Nordbahntrasse is already as well known as a colorful dog. For all travel planners, connection via Sprockhövel to Hattingen and via Krokenzieher route to Solingen. Have fun

One of the most beautiful tracks I have ever traveled.

Here we go, on, on the Nordbahntrasse

North of it only a slight incline (about 1%) to the tunnel Schee.

Nice little train station, great restored

The track bike is just fun

The former stop Niedergebreck / Bracken is located on the eastern part of the line Nordbahntrasse direction Schee tunnel and the former station Schee.

At the station Schee or at the tunnel Schee is the eastern entrance of the Nordbahntrasse and goes from the tunnel to the railway incision or until the interruption of the route in Oberbarmen steadily slightly downhill and is pleasant to drive.

The Nordbahntrasse is a former railway line that was closed in the 1980s and runs from the former Schee station in the east to Wuppertal-Vohwinkel in the west across Wuppertal, with some wonderful views of the city.

Beware of the road crossing. Pay attention to cars

Great station and nice view of the surrounding area.

a very well developed route

Great what the city of Wuppertal did there. Respect. I liked that very much. Just think of the 50s and 60s, when the steam engines rattled past the houses.

Very nice route in the middle of the roofs of Wuppertal
