Loop

Popular loop trail in Niederbergisches Land, North Rhine-Westphalia This beautiful, but with over 40 km length, also quite demanding route leads around Langenberg and can be enjoyed as part of a hike or a bike tour. Since it mostly goes through open fields, there are some great views of the Ruhr valley. Of course, idyllic forest passages are not neglected either. There are places to stay and stop for a break. The route can be reached by bus and train and can be shortened if necessary, as you pass several train stations along the way. Highlights of the hike: - wonderful views of the Ruhr valley - Windrath chapel - quiet forests - individual abbreviations possible
