Immediately afterwards the Bevertalsperre and Hückeswagen with the Wuppertalsperre are passed. In a northerly direction, Wilhelmstal and Dahlerau are crossed, and then the southern Wuppertal is crossed on the slope. The Müngsten Bridge and Burg Castle are located behind the Burgholz State Forest . The route continues to Leichlingen (Rhineland) , ending after crossing Leverkusen - Opladen in the outskirts of Rheindorf at the confluence of the Wupper into the Rhine .
