View of Wuppertal from the Nordbahntrasse

Always nice. That makes exactly the flair of the Nordbahntrasse. The viaducts, from which one looks over Wuppertal. In the evening from Barmen in the direction of Elberfeld you drive right into the sunset

Deep Cutting on the Nordbahntrasse

An impressive cut into the mountain, with enormous effort
That had to happen when the track was built - Anno 1884.

October 18, 2024,Tour in eine mir unbekannte Gegend

Today I took advantage of the weather☀️ and rode a tour suggested by Komoot 🚲. It took me to areas I've never been before. Completely new territory for me. Very nice to ride. I can only recommend it.👍

September 9, 2023,Über die Nordbahntrasse nach Vohwinkel, über Stock und Stein zurück

Once again a bicycle tour instead of a mountain bike tour. Via the Nordbahntrasse to Vohwinkel and from there back via Mettmann, Nerviges, Wuppertal and Sprockhövel. If you want to do the tour on a trekking bike: the tour leads through the Deilenbachtal Trail, which is quite something. So plan the tour differently there. And back through Schwelm it gets …

June 6, 2022,Nordbahntrasse durch Wuppertal - Trassenschlucht - Scheetunnel - Dönberg - Düssel - Vohwinkel

The tour leads across the spectacular Nordbahntrasse through Wuppertal. Numerous tunnels and bridges at the level of the house roofs offer a crazy contrast program. The international new building project of 16 houses by architecture and engineering students from numerous domestic and foreign universities is impressive. Through the foothills of the Elfringhauser Schweiz, Dönberg and Düssel, you return to Vohwinkel. …

May 26, 2025,45/25: Stadtradeln 01 (Hausrunde:Schee-NBT-Aprath)

Today I made my first contribution to City Cycling 2025. It was a familiar route...so no pictures. But I spent a lot of time and enjoyed geocaching and, thanks to tips from my companion, found quite a few things! ☺️

May 7, 2025,33/25: Hausrunde anders herum

The weather 🌞 held up surprisingly well today and I did my home circuit the other way round: Aprath, Düssel, Dornap, Nordbahntrasse to Schee and via Zur Fahrentrappe back to Dönberg!!! 🤗

March 27, 2022,Nordbahntrasse : über den Dächern von Wuppertal und mit Bergetappen zurück , Parken"Parkplatz Rottenberger Weg" in Sprockhövel

A very nice but also demanding tour, especially if you still trample alone like we did. 😉The first half leads across Wuppertal via the route with many interesting tunnels and also some resting places. The second half then goes up and down again and again through nature. Requires a good level of fitness. 600 meters in altitude have to be …

June 27, 2021,Wuppertaler Nordhöhen und Nordbahntrasse

Nice tour, but for spoiled or sensitive "buttocks" on the first half of the tour, the side routes with lots of potholes that were tarred at different heights - if at all 🙈

The off-grid section downhill towards the Velbert-Rosenhügel train station is also not without, lots of thick holes and rough gravel - keep your eyes open and the …

April 11, 2025,22/25: Hausrunde:Schee, NBT bis Vohwinkel, über Dornap-Düssel-Aprath nach Hause

Today I tried to bypass the NBT in the Bergisches Plateau area via the Schwarzbachtrasse. And I have to say... it was really good! 🤗 Unfortunately, you miss the beautiful gorge 🤷‍♀️, but you're spared the chaos on the intermediate section.
