Paved field path along the L116

Paved dirt road as a good interface to the north of the A46. In the middle you can see the ADAC driving safety center from above.

Ascent to Vollrather Höhe from Neuenhausen

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A classic! Mountain category HC in the Rhein-Erft district. No hairpin bend follows the next. But definitely usable for a few crisp training altitude meters. The climb from Neuenhausen is more beautiful, a sight without eye cancer. And since the asphalt is brittle here and there is a lot of forest waste lying around, this side is not recommended as a descent. It is more fun in the direction of Allrath or, even better, in the direction of Neurath / Frimmersdorf (keyword Teufelshörnchen).

Vollrather Höhe – Cols de Cologne

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The spoil dump, located south of Grevenbroich in the Rhenish lignite mining area, is known to many as the "Mont Ventoux of the Rhineland". Its exposed location and the three possible driveways make the Vollrather Höhe a popular destination for cyclists in the region. In addition, there is no other way to go uphill here far and wide.

The 1,700 meter long approach from Allrath to the hill is perhaps less attractive. But it offers more cycling ambience, because a mountain time trial takes place here every year. The increase is definitely not to be underestimated: it is irregular. A short descent pretends that it is now done, but behind the curve it goes uphill again until the plateau is reached.

Incidentally, it is named after the Vollrath estate, which stood here until 1953.

Hülchrath Castle

Highlight • Castle

The “Old Castle Kitchen” with its approx. 80 sqm - is a wonderful place that welcomes every guest with its cosiness and harmony. Both for a small celebration or wedding ceremony as well as for the planned party for the milestone birthday.

Raketenstation Hombroich

Highlight • Monument

Rockets used to stand here – today the former NATO base houses art.

The art and exhibition house, opened in 2004 on the old rocket station, was designed by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. It is his second building in Germany and his fourth in Europe. The building is made of steel, glass and concrete and is known for its play of light and shadow. The museum has around 1,400 square meters of exhibition space and shows various temporary exhibitions. But the outdoor area is also interesting and worth seeing and a cool highlight on every bike tour.
