Beautiful cycle path along the Dhünn near Bürrig

Highlight • Cycleway

This bike path is really very nice and runs on a dam above the Dhünn. From here it is also possible to make a detour to the Neulandpark, one of the highlights in Leverkusen.

This part of the Rhine Cycle Route had its green moments.

From Cologne along the Rhine. Before Leverkusen, you have to drive around the chemical park and some construction sites require detours. You don't see the Rhine very often. You only get close to it again near Monheim and Düsseldorf. When it's over 30 degrees, the fun factor starts to falter. But with drinking breaks, it's manageable. And we've already had …

A very nice tour, easy to drive for everyone, no matter what fitness level.
The Düsseldorf youth hostel is highly recommended 👍

Mostly very good condition. The signage is not always clear and recommended. We would therefore like to say a special thank you for the recommendation of a very friendly local cyclist at the Fleher Deich junction/Münchener Str. underpass to take the approx. 11km long route along the curve of the Rhine past Hamm and the harbor to the Düsseldorf Rhine …

It's funny that Komoot doesn't allow us to adapt the tour between Leverkusen and Rheindorf, which was clearly botched by GPS, to the route we took. At least we didn't fly, but cycled along official cycle paths past the Dhünn.

After constant rain and a train ride to Düsseldorf yesterday, today we mostly went along the Rhine cycle path to Cologne in great cycling weather!😀

On the third day, we started in 12 degrees Celsius and a headwind – just like the other two days. My butt still hasn't gotten used to sitting down. Most of the route passed through industrial areas. The road surface varied from bitumen root to patched patches, but was mostly good. Wine is over now, and after Kölsch, it's Alt …

October 2, 2023,02.10.2023 = Rhein Tour = Köln ➡️ Düsseldorf

I did the Rhine tour today because the weather forecast for today was even warmer than yesterday, but it wasn't!!

But it was still very nice, especially the media harbor in Düsseldorf with the luxury hotel Hyatt etc.
