Discover the Bergisches Land on disused railway lines
Where trains once traveled through the countryside, cyclists can now enjoy impressive panoramas and experience cities from a new perspective.
High viaducts, long tunnels, and lovingly restored station buildings tell the story of the region's railway history.
The approximately 220 km long network of Bergisch Panorama Cycle Paths connects the Bergisches Land with the southern Ruhr area and the Sauerland to form a varied route system. The paths are mainly located far away from motor traffic and allow for relaxed cycling for leisure cyclists, families, and touring cyclists.
There are numerous sights along the routes where you can take interesting breaks. Museums such as the German Röntgen Museum, the Museum of Industrial Culture, and the German Castle and Fittings Museum visibly showcase the industrial history of the Bergisches Land region.
Historic old towns with typical Bergisch half-timbered houses and cozy cafés and restaurants invite you to try regional specialties.
Enjoy panoramic views of deep valleys and glistening dams that are typical of the Bergisches Land region.
