Sülztalbahn Cycle Path near Linde

Highlight • Cycleway

The Sülztalbahn once ran here. Officially, the "Sülztalbahn" doesn't actually exist. After its completion, the railway line was officially called "Cologne-Lindlar" and was divided into several operational sections from Kalk-Süd via Cologne-Mülheim, Cologne-Dellbrück, Bergisch Gladbach, and Rösrath to Lindlar.

A small note about the tour: Stay on the K24 near Kemmerich. Do not drive into the forest. The route is not recommended!!!

After all the rain... and careful observation of the weather app. Out into the fresh air and along the railway line to Lindlar to enjoy a coffee.

Probably for the last time in this to the Klückseis ice cream parlor in Lindlar. There were only 4 varieties left; but the high summer/summer/autumn weather with a whopping 18 degrees (felt at least 25 degrees) was just too tempting. Opposite the Catholic St. Severin Parish Church in Lindlar enjoyed coffee and ice cream again on the outside terrace. Bye …

The right to vote is a duty to vote in our democracy! So: with the ebike to the polling station. Sunshine too... and for the first time, enjoying 3 delicious scoops of ice cream in front of the ice cream parlor. That's how Sunday goes

Went to Lindlar for a little shopping trip - along the Sülzbahn route... I got my second e-bike out of hibernation (you never treat yourself to anything else) and "rolled it up" again. It was already cold at +1.0 degrees... but nice. You don't notice the hills because of the slight ascent of the route... and down?... just let it …

just make a fast 28 km .. and with the beautiful railway line you don't really notice the 340 hm. Make small purchases in tranquil Lindlar, have a cappuccino and then back again.

Today, a solo ride on the Sülztalbahn line from Klefhaus Bridge via Georghausen Castle to Lindlar. Considering the actual route, the parallel tandem is suitable because it only covers the gradients of the former railway line.

But then there's the approach route (here, from and to Biesfeld). The gradients are a challenge, even with the highest level of assistance and …
