내츄럴 파크 드로버 하이데 최고의 라이딩 경로

A very nice, quiet descent that should be enjoyed.

The arched bridge over the Rur River, built here in 1992, should be crossed slowly and carefully in wet weather, as the wooden planks can be slippery! Whether on foot or by bicycle, it's wise to take precautions, as I've experienced before.

Beautiful view of the castle on the hill.

A high wall prevents the grounds of Drove Castle, located in the Kreuzau village of Drove, from being visible from the outside. Only the imposing gate, whose gable façade is crowned by an alliance coat of arms, allows passing hikers a glimpse of the private grounds—which are thus hidden from the public eye.

Great area… Great trails… Very nice people… What more could you want…, I will be back, that’s for sure

A very nice view of the castle

A beautiful route along the Rur River. Unfortunately, the cycle path is only partially suitable for road bikes.

A long and varied climb from Heimbach to Schmidt. The first few kilometers are very steep. After that, it flattens out. In Schmidt, the gradient increases slightly again in the final kilometers. Beware: There are many motorcyclists on the road on weekends.
