:O – Okay, let’s play the game! 3. Orbit: Bergischer Schiefer
Fürs Ego 🦚 und die 1.000 Extrapunkte 🏅: Orbit Nr. 3
Nun habe ich also die drei Orbits absolviert, die für mich von Düsseldorf aus noch einigermaßen in Reichweite lagen:
Infinite Flatlands ✓
Coal Crest ✓
Bergischer Schiefer ✓
Ich lebe noch. Das ist angesichts mancher Wegbeschaffenheit keineswegs eine völlig…

:O Aua, 2000 Höhenmeter! Mein 2. Orbit: Coal Crest
Mein zweiter Orbit, und ganz anders vom Gefühl (verglichen mit Infinite Flatlands).
Insgesamt fand ich die Wege vom Bodenbelag sehr angenehm, auch die Trails breit und frei genug, nur die Steigungen hatten es in sich (teilweise gefühlt im 45°-Winkel) und es muss daher recht viel geschoben werden.
(Bei Infinite Flatlands…

@Julian, thanks 🙏
My bonus on this tour was – like finding a needle in a haystack – encountering another Orbiter on the route: Julian
We then rode a large part of the route (about two-thirds) together, and probably helped each other out a few times – with resupply, technicals, and moral support.

- Halde Haniel – auf der nun das Kunstwerk von Ibarrola nach dem Umbau der Halde wieder verfügbar ist
- Haus Landfort – kurz hinter der…

Dreamy paths through marshlands and moors – an endless indulgence in nature observation! And the sun was shining, too.
Beaver tracks and spawning tree frogs – luckily, I was able to leave the frogs and toads unharmed on the trails.
Visit to Brüggen with its castle ruins – with a stop for a bite to eat

The highlights of the long tarred routes in the Bergisches Land - Balkantrasse and Nordbahntrasse, combined with natural beauty.
A challenging 100m route - but one that is also worth it for the eyes and soul: lots of greenery, water, half-timbered architecture, street art, wide views!
With various supply

A wonderful and varied tour on the Lower Rhine between Kempen, Viersen and Nettetal.
At the stone labyrinth in Viersen (Aachener Weg) there is a good parking lot that can serve as a start and end point; otherwise, train stations in Boisheim or Kempen, for example, can also be chosen.

A beautiful (medium-sized) loop to connect idyllic stream valleys with the panoramic route. This is how you go through 7 cities with little traffic!
If you like, you can add the Neandertal (+1.5km).
Have fun following!
