Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Out of Bochum, into nature! This wonderfully quiet street takes you directly to Lake Kemnader. Or from the lake back to the city. Whichever direction you go, it's quiet, green and enjoyable.

View of the Koepchenwerk Power Station

Highlight • Monument

The Koepchenwerk is one of the first two large pumped storage power plants to be built in Germany at the same time. It is located on the Hengsteysee in the city of Herdecke in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The owner of the power plant, named after its planner Arthur Koepchen and commissioned in 1930, was the RWE Group until the end of 2016. Between 1985 and 1989, the modern power plant was built directly adjacent to the old plant on the lakeshore.

This monument has been owned by the Foundation for the Preservation of Industrial Monuments and Historical Culture since January 2017

Hengsteysee – Ruhr Valley Cycle Route

Highlight • Lake

The Hengsteysee is one of six Ruhr reservoirs, it lies between Dortmund, Herdecke and Hagen. The Ruhr Valley Cycle Path runs along its shore, which is relatively narrow on this section because it leads partly over bridges and bridges. Nice to look at, but in good weather it can sometimes lead to "stop and go" maneuvers.

Take it easy, at least when you circle the lake from west to east. Because then you are spat out directly at the foot of the Syburg serpentines - at the latest here you will be warm again;)

Tour knitted with a needle that was way too hot. ☹️ I only recently decided to ride some more RR 🚲. Therefore, a lot of routes were taken where you were allowed to drive 70 km/h.. 🚗 The asphalt is of course really great. But it's anything but relaxed. Then I got fed up with the weather. I turned around …
