Niedereher Bach Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge survived the flood in summer 2021. However, the ramp has been washed away on both sides, so you have to climb and the bridge is no longer barrier-free.

Nice round tour for pedelecs. Nice paths with a lot of views.

Mostly very good paths for cycling. There are also some inclines. These are no problem for the e-bikes. Unfortunately, it goes along a few country roads. When it's warm, the forest sections are ideal. The construction site in Niederehe will surely be finished soon. A look at the map will help.
