A total of 24.7 kilometers of cycle path connect Kettwig, Wülfrath and Wuppertal. The route can be combined in many different routes around and through the Ruhr area. The route leads you from the Wuppertal Nordbahntrasse up to Kettwig and ends at the Ruhr, where you come to the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path. The panorama bike path Niederbergbahn was opened in 2011 and is one of the most beautiful and best developed Bahntrassenradwege the region. In addition to the Nordbahntrasse and the Ruhrtal Cycle Path, you can also take the panoramic cycle path to the 600 kilometer long Euroga cycle path network. This connects all Europe projects of Euroga in Holland and NRW. At the southern end you can also reach the corkscrew train to Solingen next to the northern railway line in Wuppertal.

The PanoramaRadweg Niederbergbahn is really easy to ride and there are a number of different highlights along the way.

Whether to or from Kettwig, the Niederbergbahn route is a pleasant route to be able to cycle comfortably or sportily without car traffic.

The Panoramaradweg Niederbergbahn extends over a length of 20km from Essen-Kettwig to Wülfrath and really deserves its name. Here you drive on fine asphalt, almost completely car-free (a few road crossings are necessary). If you travel the route from Kettwig to Heiligenhaus, the route is slightly uphill. The other way around, you can let yourself be rolled through from Heiligenhaus to Kettwig. Numerous viaducts and restaurants and other places to rest with benches round off the whole thing.
In Wülfrath you have to decide whether you want to drive west, e.g. to continue in the direction of Angertal, or more to the east, e.g. to reach the Bergisches Land in the direction of Wuppertal.

The panoramic bike path is an absolute highlight, a great bike path that connects the Ruhr in Essen Kettwig with the northern railway line border Wuppertal. With this section I mark the lower half from the southern entrance to about the middle in Velbert. On this piece it goes on a long distance easy but permanent uphill. You also have to turn several times and look for the rest of the course. But works well thanks to sufficient signs or this navigation. In another tip, I also show the way from the northern railway line to the entrance

In addition to spectacular views, the panorama bike path Niederbergbahn offers another special feature: from the former Bf. Velbert-West (now the restaurant "steam locomotive") to E-Kettwig it goes on a distance of about 8 km completely car-free 180 m downhill. Only the ex-stations Heiligenhaus and Isenbügel are each about 300 m level. This is the longest continuous auotfreie bike path departure in Germany. With a gradient of just over 2% you can reach a speed of 18 to 26 km / h without pedaling, depending on the flywheel mass.

From the bridge of the Niederbergbahn over the Schopshofer Bach west of the ex-station Heiligenhaus-Isenbügel offers a good view of the district Unterilp. You can argue about its urban design quality ...

About 120 m long arch bridge "Ruhr Road South" over the valley at the source area of Schopshofer Bach between Unterilp and Oberilp (north of the viaduct is the former breakpoint "Station Isenbügel", below a bit south the inn "hunting lodge"), bridge formerly from the Niederbergbahn used, today part of the panoramic bike path.

That's another part of my kit. This section, the upper half of the Panorama Cycle Path, starts in Velbert near Obi and ends in Essen Kettwig.
I have chosen this section so that you can plan beautiful tours with it. In Velbert you can get into the panoramic cycle path, whether south to Wuppertal or north to Essen-Kettwig, where you can bike along the Ruhr up to Baldeneysee or down to Mühlheim.
The panoramic bike path is simply sensational to drive.

It's just stupid that from Gruiten to Koxhof you have the unfiltered Niederberg topography under you, which involves several steep meters in altitude and requires a long circuit. I was happy to have the Rohloff with me.

The Angertal is a beautiful east-west connection from Düsseldorf to Wülfrath (Nordbahntrasse etc.)
