Canoe slalom course

Highlight • Structure

Nice stopover: Here you can relax with a drink at the beach bar and, with a bit of luck, watch the canoeists training.

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

Highlight • River

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

Hengsteysee - Hengsteysee bridge with a view

On the Hengsteysee bridge, the Hengsteystrasse (serpentines) in the Dortmund city area changes its name in the Hagen city area to Dortmunder Strasse, which crosses the Hengsteysee here and offers great views of the reservoir, the shore areas and the Syberg. There are some parking spaces on both sides of the bridge. Here from the bridge you can walk or carry your bike using stairs to reach the headland below that reaches the mouth of the Lenne.

At the end of the camping weekend, there was a tour along the Ruhr. We planned the route so that we could take a look at the campsite in Garenfeld, but we quickly changed our minds. The campsite is surrounded by a main road and the A1. We prefer to stay at Syburg for weekend trips 😊.

Actually, this morning we were supposed to go to the Hengsteysee, but nice joggers who came towards us said we couldn't go further ahead...it was closed.
