Nordbahntrasse Bridge Section, Wuppertal

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Wonderful to see the city from above. You drive through it as if you were flying low over an open-air museum, your legs turning here as if by themselves. Wonderful road surface.

Ruhrstraße Viaduct (PanoramaRadweg niederbergbahn)

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge is one of the most beautiful places on the entire route tour. The view is wonderful and the viaduct is simply an impressive structure. The descent is particularly recommended when you rush quickly over the bridge.

We took full advantage of the good weather on Whit Monday and got our bikes out for a spin. I was absolutely surprised by the route; I highly recommend it. We were almost exclusively on well-paved bike paths.

The cycle path between Hattingen and Essen is partially flooded. But it is passable.😊

My lovely, shady tour is so-so in autumn at 12 - 15°C with shorts 😅
