Alter Bahnhof Burscheid Beer Garden

Highlight • Pub

Delicious food and an even better beer from the Weltenburg monastery brewery. If you drive down the Balkan route, you should definitely take a look at a wheat beer.

Valley Road in Naturpark Bergisches Land

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

in this area the most unfavorable route that you can drive, because the cars drive there very quickly and often overtake because of the traffic routing. but there are numerous bypasses that are much more pleasant to drive.

Winding Road into the Scherfbach Valley

Highlight • Trail

It's not that bad, the curves are easy to navigate and after the last one it goes straight ahead.

Habenichts–Halzenberg Road and Dhünn Church

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Route: great!
Asphalt: unfortunately sometimes very moderate.
Traffic: especially lively at weekends and / or when the weather is good.

Highlight created to bypass the RR-inappropriate passageways that Komoot always suggests for this section of the route.
