Balkantrasse Rail Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

Cycling on the former railway line through the hilly landscape is possible without much effort and therefore also suitable for families. Tunnels, bridges and viaducts still shape the landscape today and make cycling a special experience.

Bergische Achterbahn Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

On nice weather days you should be very cautious about riding your racing bike, because many inexperienced day trippers in groups can get out of breath or even out of control on the slopes. ;)
