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.

Lenne cycle path in Lennepark, Hagen

Highlight • Cycleway

Here the Lenne cycle path leads through the Lennepark. It is very beautiful, and the ride under the rose trellis is particularly romantic.
