Kirchdorf cycle path

The Kirchdorf Cycle Path leads to all the villages surrounding the Hanseatic town of Wipperfürth, comprising four individual routes, each starting and ending at the Ohler Wiesen parking lot in Wipperfürth. The four routes are designed so that the return journey to the town is identical to the route leading out of town. This allows the outer sections to be combined into an approximately 52 km long circular cycle route around Wipperfürth, through the gently rolling hills of the Bergisches Land region, offering beautiful views.
