Steep Ascent in Naturpark Bergisches Land

Highlight • Climb

And that's why I have an E-Bike, to overcome such climbs with pleasure (I used Eco-Mode on this climb at 5Km/h uphill) 😉

Great Dhünn Valley Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The drinking water dam and its banks are protected by law. Therefore, there are hardly any negative effects on nature. Almost the entire hike is off-road. You feel very much for yourself. Pleasant!

First tour in 2023... took the good weather with you and tested the new brake pads... everything works 😆!
The paths are easy to drive on and walk on ...
It was definitely worth it... it can go on like this 😬

Relaxed tour along the Vorsperre and through s Purderbachtal ...
The section between Neumühle and Purd is practically only accessible by mountain bike. For beginners like me there is also a short section to push 😬
