View of the Wuppertalsperre near Karquelle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bergische Panorama cycle path goes past it, but be careful, the Wuppertal dam is VERY large. It's not really worth making a detour from here. Either enjoy the view …

A railway tunnel simply adds a special flavor to a cycle path. Due to the environmental regulations of the Oberberg district, a third of the tunnel consists of a shack to protect the bats that live there.

Blue Footbridge at Lennep Station

Highlight • Bridge

After a very long phase of diversion through the allotment gardens and the construction work on the two bridges at RS-Lennep station, every visitor to the route can now look forward to the new direct connection.

July 12, 2025,Bahntrassen-Radtour ab Remscheid-Lennep über Hückeswagen bis Wipperfürth und retour

A perfectly sunny Saturday: We started at the free P+R parking lot near Remscheid-Lennep train station. The so-called Balkantrasse (Balkan Route) begins there, heading towards Leverkusen-Oppladen. But after just a few kilometers, we found a turnoff to the left toward Hückeswagen and Wipperfürth.
