... the mountain railway route is more of an "S0" MtB trail at the moment - the forest workers have done a great job 🙈

Today we went via Unterburg to the Müngstener Bridge, from there on over the mountain railway line to the Korkenziehertrasse, through Solingen, then on over the Nordbahntrasse through Wuppertal. I got a bit lost and turned on my sat nav. Even the fast routes have their pitfalls 😬😬😂

October 23, 2023,YOUTUBE 70 km Bergische Radring / Die Bergischen Drei

Great tour, certainly not always easy to cycle (various short, steep climbs), but whatever, I took a Pedelec and the second battery with me.
It's definitely not for city cyclists who just want to cycle on asphalt and now that the nasty wet, muddy season is starting, you really have to expect slipping and puddles on some sections (be careful, …

May 15, 2022,Bergisch mal drei: "Bergischer Radring" mit Start in Wuppertal-Vohwinkel bei Mai-Sonne

I cycled this tour for the first time last fall, but with these already summery temperatures it was even nicer:

The route cleverly combines several railway lines with the corresponding advantages, i.e. only a slight to moderate incline and i. i.e. R. very well paved.

July 7, 2024,Der Bergische Radring

The Bergischer Radring links the old railway lines Nordbahntrasse, Balkantrasse and Korkenziehertrasse to create an impressive circular tour.
You do have to ride more uphill than stated in the original description, but you will be rewarded with the odd rapid descent if you like that.
Between the railway lines you ride through town (sometimes not so nice), fields and forests. …

Die Tour ist Durch die Passage am Müngstener Brückenpark mit dem Fahrrad absolut unbefahrbar!!
Grober unebener Waldboden kombiniert groben bis sehr groben Kiess.
Selbst mit einem Mountainbike anspruchsvoll.

Nochmal ausdrücklich mit dem Fahrrad ist die Route nicht sicher zu befahren.
