Beautiful section on the Ruhr

Highlight • Cycleway

When the weather is nice on weekends, it tends to be overcrowded and the cycle path is too narrow for the mixture of pedestrians, cyclists and skaters etc.

Confluence of the Ruhr and the Lenne

The Lenne flows east past the core of Hagen. Here she meets the dysentery. The Hohensyburg lies opposite the estuary.

August 22, 2021,Kleine Tour von Ergste nach Herdecke und zurück

For a long time today I did a round on the RuhrtalRadweg again.
So far we have cycled past the historic Koepchenwerk. Today we found out that you can also visit it with a guided tour. Was very interesting. Guided tours always take place on Sat and Sun from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
In Herdecke, of course, a little …

A mega awesome tour. Good parking. After a short walk to the river. A path with lots of shade is a blessing in this sunny weather. But you have to learn to share or be able to. Pedestrians. Large families. Joggers. Cyclists. Sports professionals. Couples. Young groups. But it was very nice and I enjoyed it immensely. All age groups …

June 16, 2023,Feierabend an der Ruhr 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️☀️🍺🙂

After a hard working week, I spontaneously did a small e-bike tour on the Ruhr with a friend tonight 😊. The light was fantastic 🤩. On the way back we stopped at the beer garden "Zur Lennemündung". This is how I like the start of the weekend...🙃☀️

September 17, 2022,Von Schwerte zum Koeppchenwerk (Speicherbecken) ★★☆☆☆

Demanding route up to the Köppchenwerk! If you don't pay attention to the elevation profile :)) Even if the route itself is of course beautiful, it still only got two stars, since the goal of this tour in particular was the Koeppchenwerk reservoir. But kinda disappointing. I thought you could see something more there. Oh well...
