Character

Aus der Hügellandschaft des Bergischen zur Tiefebene des Rheins auf der Balkantrasse. Der Name erinnert an den »Balkanexpress« – so wurde die ehemalige Bahnlinie zwischen Leverkusen-Opladen und Remscheid-Lennep im Volksmund genannt.

Der Bahnhof Remscheid-Lennep liegt am Rande des historischen Stadtkerns mit seinem nahezu kreisrunden mittelalterlichen Grundriss und denkmalgeschützten Häusern. Für die Wissenshungrigen lohnt sich ein Abstecher in das Deutsche Röntgenmuseum.

Auf der ehemaligen Bahntrasse geht es ohne große Steigungen und verkehrsfrei entspannt durch die Landschaft – städtisches Leben und ländliches Idyll wechseln sich ab. Nur in Wermelskirchen führt die Strecke auf verkehrsarmen Straßen mitten durch den Ortskern.

Unterwegs auf der rund 19 Kilometer langen Strecke erinnern Meilensteine an die Bahn-Vergangenheit, Rastplätze und Gastronomie gibt es an vielen Orten.

The BayArena (German pronunciation: [beːʔaˈʁeːna]) is a football stadium Wikipedia Icon in Leverkusen Wikipedia Icon, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, which has been the home ground of Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen Wikipedia Icon since 1958. It is not a UEFA 5-star stadium, however is in the process of becoming one. It is iconic due to a few reason.

As the new stadium design was planned in the 80s, it was based on the design of the then Ruhrstadium Wikipedia Icon in Bochum Wikipedia Icon. A steep single-tier football stadium without a running track with seating for 35,000 spectators. The stadium was intended to be constructed section by section over time in order to save costs and grow with the demands of the club, starting with the east stand in 1986, the west in 1989 and the north in 1991. In the middle of the rebuild, the demands of modern football stadiums changed. Suites and VIP Areas became necessary, a family friendly section as well as design modification to all-seater following the Bundesliga riots of the 1990s and the demands for international matches.

As a lesson from the World Cup 1994 in the USA the north section was redesignated as a so-called "Family Street", the first section of a German stadium aimed at attracting a younger audience. This concept proved to be a rousing success and demanded the moving of the Family Street to the larger east section for the 96-97 season. In the process the BayArena was the first stadium in Germany to turn into an all-seater and to remove part of the fences which had separated the tiers from the pitch, starting again in the east and later expanded to the whole stadium. Due to the demands for larger VIP areas, the original plans for closing the gap in the south with a stand the same layout as the north were dropped in 1995. Instead the south section was built as box suites, making the stadium unique in the Bundesliga with its South American style horseshoe design. With the work finished in 1997 the BayArena was judged as the most comfortable and modern stadium in Germany.

The expansion and renovation of 2007-2009 added a second tier over the east, north and west sections, new VIP suites between the two tiers, a new oval roof covering all seats as well as the complete rebuild of the club's main facilities in the west section. It also saw the reintroduction of pure standing areas for the home supporters in the corner north/east. After Summer 2013 the pure standing area will stretch over the complete first rows in the north of the stadium.
