Wuppertal‑Wichlinghausen Station (Nordbahn Trail)

Highlight • Cycleway

The old station Wichlinghausen is already a highlight in itself. But there is also a lot to discover around it. Football is played on the green areas in the summer, and right next to the train station is a remarkable course area that is open to the public. Within sight of the train station you can discover the Wicked-Woods Hall, where skaters and dirt bikers can practice their tricks.

Mirker Station, Utopiastadt & Café Hutmacher

Highlight • Cafe

Not so long ago, Wuppertal was considered one of the least bicycle-friendly cities in Germany. Recently, however, the city in the Bergisches Land has become increasingly popular among cyclists. The main reason for this is the Nordbahntrasse, a railway line recultivated as a cycle path, which meanders "over the roofs" of the long city from Vohwinkel to Sprockhövel.

One of the heart of the route, the Mirke train station, is located at the height of the Elberfeld district. The listed building is the cultural center of Nordstadt and provides a home for many colorful projects. Café Hutmacher is located in this old station building. Here you can take a leisurely break inside and outside in good weather. In addition to coffee and cake, there are delicious snacks from the stone oven or from the grill from spring to autumn. If you would rather have a beer with the tarte flambée from the oven, you are well advised to try the house beer "Bärtig Bräu". Sustainability is very important here. Whether it's coffee, soda or beer, care is taken to ensure that everything is produced fairly and locally.

The whole thing is rounded off by numerous events such as readings, concerts or design markets, which mainly take place at the station on weekends. If you don't have your own bike, Mirke train station is also a good starting point for you. It is easily accessible by public transport and offers free bike rental. For a small deposit you can start cycling from there.

Outdoor Fitness Area at Nordbahntrasse

Highlight • Rest Area

Almost 200 square meters of space, including equipment, will soon be available on the route, right next to the bridge over Düsseldorfer Strasse. For this purpose, the old platform will be lowered and a fall protection surface will be laid. The Wichernhaus will do the preparatory work. The system costs a total of almost 75,000 euros.

Dance Tunnel (Dorrenberg Tunnel)

Highlight • Structure

In the past, after the railway company, people actually danced and partyed here. Today it is passage for pedestrians and cyclists as part of the Nordbahntrasse.

Nordbahntrasse Bridge Section, Wuppertal

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Wonderful to see the city from above. You drive through it as if you were flying low over an open-air museum, your legs turning here as if by themselves. Wonderful road surface.
