Crossing the Balkan route and the Alleenradweg water quintet
Here meet the two former railway lines Balkan route and water quintet. It goes off to the Bever and Wuppertalsperre. This also makes beautiful round trips in Bergisches Land possible.

Wipperfürth Transit Camp Memorial Railcar

Highlight • Historical Site

In the 40s / 50s of the last century, Wipperfürth was a transit camp for displaced people - this rail bus reminds of this. Models of this type ran on the Wipperfürth - Lennep route in scheduled train services until the 1980s. The rail bus purchased from Deutsche Privatbahn GmbH is now on the old railway site on the Bergische Panorama-Radweg.
