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

Today I cycle to work to do a lap after work. Today I did my 300th tour at Komoot 🥳😎😂💪🏼! Never thought I'd be so steadfast The tour was actually planned a little differently, but I changed it a little at the end because it was too late and a few more meters in altitude would have been waiting for …

June 11, 2025,Alltagsroute um Wuppertal 🚴‍♂️👋

Today I was out cycling around Wuppertal with the ADFC (German Cyclists' Association) as part of the "City Cycling" campaign. The topic was "inspecting" the route, which is planned to be developed as a daily route at some point.

Let's just say there's still a lot to do. Unless you're riding on the Nordbahntrasse or the Sambatrasse. The Südhöhen area …

This tour had only one reason, well, two 😄.
On the one hand, I wanted to get some exercise, and on the other, I really wanted to visit the Trassengarten, as it was usually closed whenever I passed by. Bottom line: It wasn't my last visit 🍺😃

Today I did something really crazy. I did my home loop the other way around 😵 😄. My back still hurts a bit, but the weather was just too nice, so I decided to test what I could do. So, I took a leisurely ride along the trails with a few breaks along the way. It was wonderful in this …

February 8, 2023,Radtour rund ums Tal der Wupper

Today arrival by train to W-Vohwinkel. First it went down towards Sonnborn, then really up again. I was rewarded with the most beautiful views of the Wupper valley. After lunch we went along the Nordbahntrasse back to the starting point. Thanks to the DB, the train rides 🚆 were on time and the elevators were in operation. 😀
