Wermelskirchen

Wermelskirchen is known across North Rhine-Westphalia for the Balkantrasse, a former railway corridor now used by cyclists and walkers. The town lies in the Bergisches Land, where the Dhünn and its tributary valleys shape wooded, rolling country south-east of the Rhine-Ruhr conurbation. The route runs through Wermelskirchen on a largely traffic-free path, connecting it with communities including Remscheid and Leverkusen and giving the old rail alignment a new public role. Beyond the centre, the municipal area includes the long-established localities of Dabringhausen and Dhünn, reflecting the dispersed settlement pattern of this upland region.
