View of Villa Hügel Over Lake Baldeney

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the south bank of Lake Baldeney you have a beautiful view of Villa Hügel on the north bank and the sailing boats on the lake. The paths are very wide, but it can get quite crowded on the weekend.

Ruhr Valley Between Werden and Kettwig

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The broad valley at Werden gets narrow shortly before Kettwig. Ruhr, two roads and railway squeeze through here. On the Ruhrtal cycle path directly at the Ruhr you will not notice any street noise!

Hey guys, my first longer tour this year. Was cool but dry. Not much traffic either. I did some exercises at the trim stations. At Baldenysee I could drive really relaxed, without slalom, brakes etc..
Stay healthy until then

March 3, 2022,Wieder über Radweg nach Kettwig, aber durch Oefter Tal zurück.

Well, I always wanted to go back through the Oefter Bachtal. I did it this time. But there was a brutal long climb. That was awesome after about 30 km in the legs. Then I stood somewhere in the forest and returned to Oefter Burg or Schloß via Werden.

August 28, 2022,Runde Heiligenhaus zum Baldenaysee zur Villa Hügel und ins Deilbachtal 4⭐++

The round is beautiful over large parts 👌 the detours to Kettwig and Krupp Villa Hügel are absolutely recommendable, admission to the Villa Hügel premises is 5 euros per person including a visit to the exhibition 👍 the tour gets a small point deduction because after the Deilbachtal to Velbert runs on the road. Have fun cycling 😉

May 9, 2025,Auf dem Panoramaradweg – Baldeneysee Runde von Kettwig Stausee

Day 1 of our Tour de Ruhr, and right away the most beautiful stretch with the best rest stops ;-) 🍟🍺. Once you've conquered the (moderate) elevation gain to Velbert, it's a rapid descent toward Lake Baldeney. On Friday, the crowds were still bearable, and we made good progress. A detour to Villa Hügel is also highly recommended.
