View of Wuppertal from the Nordbahntrasse

Highlight • Viewpoint

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

Highlight • Cycleway

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

Kohlenbahn junction to Silschede

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you have the choice: Either you cycle towards Hattingen or you take the coal railway branch to Gevelsberg-Silschede. Both routes are wonderfully quiet and excellently accessible even without asphalt. …

Stone Arch Bridge on the Nordbahntrasse near Sprockhövel

A brilliant tour along the Nordbahntrasse and Kohlebergbahntrasse. Lights are a must because of the many tunnels!
