Water Castle Haus Opherdicke

Highlight • Castle

Haus Opherdicke is one of the most outstanding architectural monuments in the region. The moated castle built in the 12th century is a prime example of the harmonious juxtaposition of historical preservation and contemporary use. The location of the house, its variety of uses and its architectural beauty combine to create an atmosphere full of charm and originality.

The Kultur-Café in the basement invites you to linger after a walk, bike ride or visit the exhibition on the first floor of Haus Opherdicke. In addition to a beautiful view of the Ruhr Valley, it offers small bites, such as cakes, snacks and drinks.

Here you first have a great view and then you can roll down the mountain on a great bike path.

Countryside Cycling Path in Sauerland

Highlight • Cycleway

Very crowded at prime time (e.g. Sunday lunchtime when the sun is shining). Then unsuitable for racing bikes

Ruhr Valley Cycle Path near Neheim

Highlight • Cycleway

A beautiful landscape, a paved bike path and cycling virtually without gradients make this part of the Ruhrtalradweges very beautiful. Those who dress warmly and catch a few nice days off peak season are not only likely to find lodgings easier, but also have a much freer ride. In particular, the paved parts are used by walkers, skaters and parents with prams. And oncoming traffic is still there. Please be careful and considerate.

View of the Ruhr in Wickede

Highlight • Viewpoint

Below the bridge is a small park through which the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path runs. Cabaret loosens this up.

Schoof's bridge over the Ruhr

Highlight • Bridge

Be careful and stand on the pavement, not infrequently make the car owners on the bridge the monkey and then get upset when you get excited. They are a bit ......! Well. Otherwise, it is really nice here to make a pause ...
