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.

Still cool and hazy in the morning, a little rain in the Remscheid area - Bornefeld - and sunny and pleasantly warm at midday.

On the way there are walkers, cyclists, inline skaters - all peaceful on the route!

A perfectly sunny Saturday: We started at the free P+R parking lot near Remscheid-Lennep train station. The so-called Balkantrasse (Balkan Route) begins there, heading towards Leverkusen-Oppladen. But after just a few kilometers, we found a turnoff to the left toward Hückeswagen and Wipperfürth.
