Oberbergischer Kreis. Not only for climate protection but also for personal health: under this premise, employees of the district administration gathered for a bike tour and collected kilometers at the end of the nationwide STADTRADELN campaign (May 25 - June 14, 2026). As part of the corporate health promotion program, the district administration offered the joint bike tour over the weekend, coinciding with the conclusion of the STADTRADELN competition, in which the Oberbergischer Kreis and Oberberg municipalities participated again this year with more than 3,400 cyclists in 327 teams.

A "core group" of five colleagues, led by the Deputy District Administrator Stefan Heße, gathered with rain gear at the district office in Gummersbach, defying the unpredictable weather. The team cycled together through Reininghausen, Becke, Frömmersbach, Unnenberg to the lakeside path of the Genkeltalsperre. After a short break, they returned via Lantenbach, Erlenhagen, and Bernberg to the district office.
Alongside 115 cycling kilometers for the STADTRADELN competition, the district administration team enjoyed a pleasant outing with fresh air and exercise for their health.
