Allee des Wandels Rail Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This beautiful railway path leads from the Halde Hoheward past Herten to Westerholt. He combines several old coal mine sites and is a wonderfully quiet bike path. The path is nice wide, paved throughout and wonderful to ride.

Red Bridge Over Goldhammer Bach

Highlight • Bridge

A typical steel truss bridge can be seen here. Especially on hot days, the route, which lies on a steep gravel embankment, is very pleasant due to the dense tree population.
