View of the tree-lined avenue near Silschede

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is always worth taking a look at this avenue.

Kohlenbahn junction to Silschede

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you have the choice: Either you cycle towards Hattingen or you take the coal railway branch to Gevelsberg-Silschede. Both routes are wonderfully quiet and excellently accessible even without asphalt. When it's wet, the bike gets dirty. The coal railway is a railway track for nature lovers.

Schee Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The Schee station was opened in 1886 on the railway line Wuppertal - Wichlinghausen - Hattingen, approximately at the highest point of the route. The monument was often used as a backdrop for film and television recordings.

Esborner Straße Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If an average gradient of 2.6% is already a descent, that's fine with me. I always try to avoid Esborner Straße as best I can, as cars are usually quite fast here and often overtake tightly. As alternatives, I would recommend the Vosshöfener and Albringhauser Straße or the Elbschetaltrasse, depending on the direction. Those who like vertical meters and real, albeit short, descents can also use the Böllberg.

The Elbsche Valley Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

The viaduct was extensively restored and is part of the Elbschetal cycle path. The view from up there on Wetter / Wengern is really nice.

Wood-Fired Bakery Bommern

Highlight • Cafe

Tucked away in a backyard in the Witten district of Bommern is the wood-fired bakery, where freshly baked traditional recipes are baked daily. And that almost in front of your eyes. When you stand in front of the bread counter and turn your gaze to the left, you watch the baker at work. On your right is the cozy café area, where you can enjoy the delights from breakfast to coffee and cake on site. In the summer you can also sit outside, which unfortunately is not quite as cozy due to the rainy bread tourism of the car group.

Opening hours:
Monday to Friday 6 to 19 o'clock
Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays 6 to 17 o'clock

Bommern to Durchholzer Straße Junction

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The mountain has a few nice features that make it worthwhile to stop by: first of all, there is either a separate cycle path or a wide shoulder on most of the piece. You do not really get in touch with the car, which is good, because the road is relatively well traveled (as far as you can say for this dandy here ...). At the same time the mountain never has very high percentage of gradients, so you can use it well to "push", as long as you still have the strength. Furthermore, there are several options to plan the drive from the intersection: back to Herberde, steep direction Sprockhövel, wavy to Haßlinghausen and from there on towards Gevelsberg in the mountains, to Wuppertal to the route or in the direction of Langenscheid, a gem for the friends what is known in French as the "Côte" of the leading-year classics. And if you search enough, you will certainly find one or the other way, which feels just as shitty, like cobblestones (driving the Felderbachstraße in the direction of Langenscheid suicide, for example, in the upper part of the Apshalt extremely shitty!).
