BEBEBUS starts: New public transport line brings day trippers to the countryside!
The new public transport line 330, also known as "Beverbus", starts on May 29, 2025 and offers an important connection between Hückeswagen, Wipperfürth and the Beversalsperre. This initiative, which is aimed at day trippers, young people, families and people without a car, is initiated by the Oberberg district to promote the use of public transport and to improve leisure activities. According to Obk.de , the line will run seven times a day on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
The offer is expanded, especially during the summer vacation in North Rhine-Westphalia, so that the Beverbus is also in use Monday to Friday. The trips are carried out with minibuses of a local bus company and offer stops at central points such as the Wipperfürther Busbahnhof, Beverstraße and the leisure paradise Beitlick, which is located directly at the Beversalsperre. The travel times are only five minutes from Hückeswagen and 13 minutes from Wipperfürth.driving prices and ticket information
A valid public transport ticket is required for the use of the Beverbus, which can be purchased either on the bus or via the OVAG app. The costs are 2.70 euros for adults and 1.30 euros for children. No registration or reservation is necessary to use the comfortable trips.
The Beversalsperre
The Beversalsperre, which was put into operation in 1938, represents a central attraction in the region. It not only serves as a domestic water dam, but also contributes to flood protection and low water increase. With a storage space of 23.7 million m³, which is seven times larger than that of the old Beversalsperre, it enables better storage of larger amounts of rain, which further improves flood protection. Information about the dam can be found on wupperverband.de Various measures have contributed to ensuring the security of the dam over the years. Geodetic measuring points were installed to monitor deformations and water levels. The Wupperverband also carries out regular checks to ensure the integrity of the building. The dam was the largest process water dam in the Wupper area until the Wupper dam was completed in 1987 and has had an important role in the regional water balance since then.
