Höhenweg in the Elfringhauser Schweiz

Highlight • Trail

In terms of landscape, this section is a stunner. There is always going up and down a side street with little traffic. The view in many places is simply terrific. There are many small, covered resting places along the way.

Most of the trail is newly asphalted, there is almost no traffic and the landscape and the ever-changing views are fantastic. But you have to like going uphill 😉.

August 24, 2025,Höhenweg neu geteert 😎 – Das wunderschöne Deilbachtal Runde von Essen-Kupferdreh

It was a great route, with beautiful views, but also some mountain bike sections where pushing was the only option.
And the battle with the elevation gain. When you feel the burning in your lungs but still want to ride the last few meters...
But it was a really nice ride 😊
