- Brief description
-
Interesting and very easy stage with the lowest elevation gain; the small ups and downs are barely noticeable.
This extensive flat stage is characterised by several pretty paths beside many lakes and through agricultural landscapes – and past a GIGA electric power line

- Description

Monheim to Langenfeld-Reusrath
In Monheim, we first head eastwards through Bayer land: the chemical company’s crop protection centre and the fields we pass through are to all intents and purposes Bayer’s experimentation meadows.
Later, we pass a grand building, the Laach Castle (Schloss Laach), constructed in 1911 in the Dutch Baroque architectural style.
Then we walk by the “Blue Danube” Baggersee and the Hitdorfer See; at the latter we can take a dip!
The neanderland STEIG continues through the village of Mehlbruch and finally into the Wupper plain and then alongside the river itself.
But we do not cross the Wupper; instead we turn northwards, until we reach the finish in Langenfeld-Reusrath.
