Unfortunately, the bridge will not be rebuilt. Crossing the stream is possible when the water level is low (take off your shoes). Riding a horse (see the registered bridleway) is still possible.

Still a top trail that's a good ride! It's best to avoid rush hour, as there might be a lot of pedestrians on the trail.

You look at it a bit incredulously. Sauerland? No, still in the Ruhr area. Unspoilt nature, elevation gain, and excellent trail conditions.

Very nice place, especially in the evening. But it gets crowded when the weather is nice.
