Bensberg Palace

Highlight • Castle

Impressive castle. Worth taking a little detour. If you want to challenge yourself a little, you should not take the main access road, the Milchborntalweg, but the small and super steep side road, Am Milchbornsberg. Have fun! :)

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.

Königs Forest

Highlight • Forest

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.

Wahner Heide road cycling route

Highlight • Cycleway

The street should be a one-way street at least at the weekend, the right lane only for bikes!

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
