View of the Wuppertalsperre near Karquelle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bergische Panorama cycle path goes past it, but be careful, the Wuppertal dam is VERY large. It's not really worth making a detour from here. Either enjoy the view …

Höhsiepen Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

A railway tunnel simply adds a special flavor to a cycle path. Due to the environmental regulations of the Oberberg district, a third of the tunnel consists of a shack to protect the bats that live there.

Balkantrasse Rail Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

Cycling on the former railway line through the hilly landscape is possible without much effort and therefore also suitable for families. Tunnels, bridges and viaducts still shape the landscape today and make cycling a special experience.
