Wippertalbahn Rail Trail – Rocky Gorge Section

Highlight • Cycleway

An almost dramatic passage in the rocky cut of the former route of the Wippertalbahn. In summer it is pleasantly shady and easy to drive on the smooth asphalt in all seasons.

Bergische Achterbahn Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

On nice weather days you should be very cautious about riding your racing bike, because many inexperienced day trippers in groups can get out of breath or even out of control on the slopes. ;)

Habenichts–Halzenberg Road and Dhünn Church

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Route: great!
Asphalt: unfortunately sometimes very moderate.
Traffic: especially lively at weekends and / or when the weather is good.

Highlight created to bypass the RR-inappropriate passageways that Komoot always suggests for this section of the route.
