Forsbach Descent (Rund um Köln)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A section of the Cologne route that's really fun and fast. Between Forsbach and Bensberg, the bike path is also perfectly fine under normal circumstances.

As a "green lung" on the outskirts of Cologne, the Königsforst is an important protected area and serves to connect neighboring areas such as the Wahner Heide.

Steep Ascent from Immekeppel

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

From the Sülztal up with an orderly slope through the forest. Arriving at the top (in front of the Kreutzhäuschen) is often the best view towards the Rhine and beyond
