View of Wuppertal from the Nordbahntrasse

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always nice. That makes exactly the flair of the Nordbahntrasse. The viaducts, from which one looks over Wuppertal. In the evening from Barmen in the direction of Elberfeld you drive right into the sunset

Deep Cutting on the Nordbahntrasse

Highlight • Cycleway

An impressive cut into the mountain, with enormous effort
That had to happen when the track was built - Anno 1884.

A brilliant tour along the Nordbahntrasse and Kohlebergbahntrasse. Lights are a must because of the many tunnels!

I actually wanted to drive a clean tour. but on the Ruhr, sections of the route were quite flooded 😁😁
And because of bridge construction I would have to take a detour.
The worst thing was, I navigated the route with Garmin but only pressed the button to record after about 10 km 😄. I arrived at the destination and …

Super nice route tour with @Jochen 🚵🚴 mtb2️⃣grvl4️⃣ruhrgebiet, @Shimano🚲👈 and Jörg from ERG. It wasn't that easy cycling behind 3 well-trained men 😅. The route is 90% off the road. Beautiful 🍀 and at the end we took a detour to get the 💯 full. 😅😅🍀🍀🌞🌞🌞

In good weather conditions, @Shimano🚲👈 @Jörg @Steffi912 and I set off for the diesel route.
After starting in Kettwig, we took the Panorama cycle path and the Niederbergbahn route to Wuppertal.
After a little refreshment here, we headed down the Nordbahn route to Hattingen.
From here, we went along the Ruhr to Essen.

It was a beautiful day 👍

To mark the end of the year, I took another nice tour with mtbbikerruhrgebiet (Jochen) along the Nordbahn route. The weather was awesome. The 6 or 7 tunnels on the route had a stark difference in temperature... to put it in German, it was as cold as the ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣The best thing about half the route, we met HaldenPete and …

May 4, 2022,Ruhr Gran Fondo auf Speed

Yesterday the speed queen really gave the spurs for the first time. A hell of a ride at perfect temperatures, if it hadn't been for the north-west wind there would have been a little more on the route to Hattingen and on the Ruhr. And 30.4 km/h in motion over 100 km is also a good value with a Mtb …
