Deep Cutting on the Nordbahntrasse

An impressive cut into the mountain, with enormous effort

View of Wuppertal from the Nordbahntrasse viaducts

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Always nice - that is exactly the flair of the Nordbahntrasse. The viaducts, from which you can see over Wuppertal, are a real highlight. In the evening from Barmen in the direction of Elberfeld you drive exactly into the sunset.

October 18, 2024,Tour in eine mir unbekannte Gegend

Today I took advantage of the weather☀️ and rode a tour suggested by Komoot 🚲. It took me to areas I've never been before. Completely new territory for me. Very nice to ride. I can only recommend it.👍

June 6, 2022,Nordbahntrasse durch Wuppertal - Trassenschlucht - Scheetunnel - Dönberg - Düssel - Vohwinkel

The tour leads across the spectacular Nordbahntrasse through Wuppertal. Numerous tunnels and bridges at the level of the house roofs offer a crazy contrast program. The international new building project of 16 houses by architecture and engineering students from numerous domestic and foreign universities is impressive. Through the foothills of the Elfringhauser Schweiz, Dönberg and Düssel, you return to Vohwinkel. …

March 27, 2022,Nordbahntrasse : über den Dächern von Wuppertal und mit Bergetappen zurück , Parken"Parkplatz Rottenberger Weg" in Sprockhövel

A very nice but also demanding tour, especially if you still trample alone like we did. 😉The first half leads across Wuppertal via the route with many interesting tunnels and also some resting places. The second half then goes up and down again and again through nature. Requires a good level of fitness. 600 meters in altitude have to be …

Today I made my first contribution to City Cycling 2025. It was a familiar route...so no pictures. But I spent a lot of time and enjoyed geocaching and, thanks to tips from my companion, found quite a few things! ☺️

Today I collected the first kilometers for city cycling. Since the weather didn't look so great, I decided to do my home circuit, for which I now have a great description: Over the northern heights of Wuppertal, to the Nordbahntrasse...
And what can I say,...the weather got better and better, the sun 🌞 peeked out more and more often and …

Today I tried to bypass the NBT in the Bergisches Plateau area via the Schwarzbachtrasse. And I have to say... it was really good! 🤗 Unfortunately, you miss the beautiful gorge 🤷‍♀️, but you're spared the chaos on the intermediate section.
