More paths than on any map

By just looking at a 1:50000 map of the area left and right of the Autobahn A3 between Erkrath and Mettmann, I would have never considered cycling there. Just for completeness I went there to track some paths and found a very interesting area with many more ways than expected from the map. Again I was amazed how much more lifely the experience of a rather small area can be if you want to map all the tracks you can find there.

Still I have to go back there, because I could not finish everything. I must say, however, that I should have made the trip in summer. Quite a few tracks are still terribly muddy. Not that it really kept me out, but I am not exactly looking for this kind of experience.
