April 6, 2025,Über die Nutscheider Höhen und durchs Siegtal

A wonderful bike ride in beautiful weather and with fantastic views from the Panarbora Treetop Walk. After the cool breeze on the heights of the Nutscheid, we returned through the Sieg Valley in spring-like warmth. We live in a beautiful area, after all.

Nice round trip through the Bergisches Land. We can only recommend the route via the Nutscheid. Everything included, Ealf, foresight and gradients. Then relax in Siegtal. The Kurcafe is worth a visit. Delicious and special😊
