Sülztalbahn Cycle Path near Linde

Highlight • Cycleway

The Sülztalbahn once ran here. Officially, the "Sülztalbahn" doesn't actually exist. After its completion, the railway line was officially called "Cologne-Lindlar" and was divided into several operational sections from Kalk-Süd via Cologne-Mülheim, Cologne-Dellbrück, Bergisch Gladbach, and Rösrath to Lindlar.

A railway line that, in part, is still very much alive, but in part, has left behind numerous traces and has been reborn as a pleasant cycle path.

Linde station, along the former Cologne-Lindar line, has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Here are some historical facts about this important station:

1. **Opening**: Linde station opened in 1869 and initially served as an important transport hub for passenger and freight traffic between Cologne and Lindar and the surrounding towns and communities.

2. **Importance for mining**: There were several coal mines near Linde station, which were a significant economic factor in the 19th century. The station therefore played an important role in the transport of miners, coal and other goods.

View of the Lindlarer Sülz Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lindlarer Sülz is the 23.8 km long east-northeast left source river of the Sülz. It flows through the Oberberg district in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The Lindlarer Sülz rises south of the village of Obersiemeringhausen, which belongs to Marienheide, on the west flank of the 437.7 m high Hauerberg at an altitude of 377 m above sea level. NHN. At Hommerich at 126 m above sea level. NHN it unites with the Kürtener Sülz to Sülz.

Above the Sülztal runs the old route of the Cologne-Mülheim-Lindlar railway (popularly: Sülztalbahn). The railway viaduct of this former railway line, built around 1912 and on which it crossed the Sülz and the Sülztal, still stands in Bruch.
