View of the Nordsternbrücke bridge in Nordsternpark

Highlight • Bridge

The industrial site of the Nordstern colliery was completely redesigned for the Federal Garden Show. A beautiful local recreation area has been created here with a huge children's playground, barbecue area, beer garden, dog meadow and amphitheater. The old colliery building was converted into an office building. A detour is definitely worth it 👍

Niederfeld Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

A great route with a great surface. Leads directly from the south into the city center of Essen. Lots of water along the way - Niederfeldsee, Kruppseee - and the Cafe Radmosphäre. My top route in Essen.

Hello...🙋‍♂️
Took advantage of the good weather and went for a bike ride.
