Bochum–Witten City Border on the Rheinischer Esel

Highlight • Cycleway

As a city boundary unspectacular, only interesting because of the marking on the "Rhenish donkey" under the bridge. In this section, the former railway line is very accessible for bicycles. The rise from Witten to Langendreer is small.

Red Arch Bridge on the Rheinischer Esel Trail

Highlight • Bridge

here is a small but fine bridge over the Rhenish donkey, which is particularly impressive because of its red color. With a bit of luck you will see ponies trotting to the neighboring pastures on her.
