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.

View of the Ruhr from the Friedensbrücke-Kleinemeyer

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Friedensbrücke-Kleinemeyer in Schwerte, named after the pastor and then acting mayor Heinrich Kleinemeyer, is a remarkable structure that not only represents an important transport connection, but also has a deeper historical significance. Heinrich Kleinemeyer, born on June 10, 1898 in Spradow and died on June 21, 1948 in Schwerte, was a pastor in the city from 1929. His naming of the bridge underlines its importance for the community of Schwerte.

For cyclists and hikers, the area around the Friedensbrücke-Kleinemeyer offers wonderful views over the Ruhr and represents an important route for leisure activities in nature. The bridge is part of various cycling and hiking trails that make the beauty of the Ruhr Valley and its surroundings accessible .

The Peace Bridge was built between 1945 and 1946 and serves as a road bridge. It replaced an earlier bridge from 1892 and is constructed as a steel-reinforced concrete composite bridge. The bridge was opened to traffic in June 1946 after construction work was significantly hampered by a flood from the Ruhr in August 1945. The construction costs amounted to 420,000 Reichsmarks.

Old Railway Bridge in Bahnwald

Highlight • Bridge

Suddenly, the route turns onto this quiet path, which leads you over an old bridge over the railway tracks. The rusty railings are covered in vines, and the ground is made of cobblestones. It almost felt like I'd stepped back in time. And the beautiful atmosphere remains: The path through the following railway forest is also truly beautiful!
