Den Weg entlang der Straße vom Bergbaumuseum haben wir uns erspart und sind ab Bergheim gestartet.
Die Tour verdient Ihren Namen, denn die Aussichten entlang der Route sind schon fast nicht zu toppen. Kölner Dom und auch das Siebengebirge waren gut zu sehen, aber auch der Blick über das ehemalige Bergbaugelände mit den Magerwiesen und deren typische Vegetation, entschädigt für die doch spürbaren Aufstiege.
