September 14, 2023,Von Paffendorf zur Erftmündung & Retoure

The altitude is an illusion from my navigation system. Actually about 200-250 meters!

This tour leads along the lower Erft to the estuary, cycling through beautiful river landscapes without any significant inclines. The tour is chosen so that you can take the train from Neuss back to the starting point.

I estimate the elevation gain was a maximum of 130m, but I don't know why Komoot recorded so much.

If you live on the Erft, you cycle here more often 😉 but we also keep discovering new things, for example the route from Grevenbroich to Bedburg. The absolute highlight of the stretch: the Mühlenstube beer garden in Gindorf! Cozy, a great host and the perfect place to charge your batteries - not just your own, but also those of …

Pedelec Kerpen-Horrem - Erft - Neuss, 104 photos, cheerful, black. South wind, 16 to 25°, arrival RE1, back S11 and S1 via D-Unterrath

Because of the expected heat, anti-cyclical time of day today: Start at 6:30 a.m. after a one-hour journey in the well-filled RE1 (is otherwise VERY well-filled). the first few km even with a windbreaker.

August 16, 2024,Etappe 3: Bergheim bis zur Mündung – Erft-Radweg

Today we cycled the last stage of the Erft cycle path. We took our first break in Bedburg at the market square. Unfortunately, the path is poorly signposted, so at times we cycled along main roads rather than along the Erft. It was very beautiful along the Erft 🥰 but also often very bumpy. The route led past many castles. …

Sometimes, all it takes is a look out the window and the right amount of spontaneity – and a completely normal Sunday turns into a small adventure.

The tour along the Erft from Horrem to its mouth in the Rhine was exactly such a moment: fresh spring green, quiet paths, impressive nature, and exciting insights like the work around the …
