View of the Mintarder Ruhr Valley Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Super long bridge. I found the bridge very impressive to look at from a certain distance from the cycle path, because the bridge is super long and slightly curved; it crosses the Ruhr and the cycle path.

My last stage on the Ruhrtalradweg to Duisburg. Strengthened with a breakfast, we start in the direction of Mühlheim. The route leads directly along the Ruhr again. At this time I have the route almost to myself. 🤩 Behind Mühlheim you move away from the Ruhr. Along the former garden show grounds you reach the water tower "Aquarius", next to …

Today the last little tour.
From Lake Baldeney
via Kettwich to 🍦 eat and further under the A 52 Ruhrtal autobahn to Mühlheim a.d.Ruhr where you can take a nice break on the Ruhr promenade. Then it is not far and the Ruhr flows into the Rhine. The Ruhr cycle path in Duisburg ends here.
