Since summer 2021, there has been a new fitness trail. Various fitness exercises can be performed at ten stations along a 2.5 kilometer route. Information boards explain the exercise examples for different categories such as endurance and coordination, strength, and stretching and relaxation. The equipment is great and very inviting!

The Werl city forest impresses with its varied landscape and is a paradise for nature lovers and hikers. In addition to the hiking trails, the forest also features a new low ropes course and an enchanting playground that is ideal for families with children. You can also follow in the footsteps of history here, for example along the former British Victoria Barracks.

The weir of Wickede can already be seen from the railway bridge. The bike path over the bridge leads over wooden planks and it rattles here and there.

If you don't feel like driving through Wickede/Ruhr coming from Arnsberg, turn right immediately after the bridge, cycle under the bridge and between Obergraben and the renatured Ruhr further downstream.

Is another piece of ideal world. A railway bridge without overhead lines and high-speed trains and the still young Ruhr. A nice picture.
