Singletrack trail in Ruhr Region forest

Highlight • Trail

You should drive through it for the first time and get to know the route. At the end CAUTION ROAD comes very spontaneously out of nowhere!

Trail in the Hohensyburg – Klusenberg Nature Reserve

Highlight • Trail

Great trail that is very easy to ride on a mountain bike, including a great view of the Hengsteysee.
Definitely to be recommended.

Ruhr Heights Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

While “below” strollers, cyclists and joggers “battle” each other for the best spot on the way around the lake, up here you not only have peace and quiet, but also a great view! The little dangling across the street or a short carrying passage over a stepped path is definitely worth it!

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

This is the way back to the trailhead. Why departure?

Thanks swoop for bikesitting. Thank you Andy for bringing the bike and for a great tour, which unfortunately your record ended too early.

April 22, 2022,Entspannt durch die Ruhrsteilhänge 😎🤟🏻

It's a pity Patrick that your freewheel decided to die in the first few meters... but at least we went down one more trail together.
Otherwise it was short and crisp and you don't have to say much about the Ruhr steep slopes 😍 steep and demanding... and once again a feared opponent fallen 🤟🏻
