Kemnader Lake – Bochum Side

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

I prefer the Bochum side of Lake Kemander with a racing bike, as the paths are better than on the southern, Witten side.

Can be easily combined with tours on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path (i.e. further along the Ruhr towards Hattingen), or south towards Sprockhövel.

Brockhauser Straße Bicycle Street

Highlight • Cycleway

Brockhauser Strasse has recently become a bicycle route, and now this part of the RuhrtalRadweg can be quickly ridden on the road.

Boat channel at the Ruhr Bridge in Hattingen

Highlight • Structure

For cyclists it is a highlight in that, if you are lucky, you can watch boats slide down the alley😉

View of the Ruhr Valley from the Koster Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Although the bridge is a busy road bridge, the two-sided footpaths and cycle paths are interesting because of the distant views and the bird's eye view of the river and bank.

Ruhr Valley Cycle Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The Ruhr Valley Cycle Route (own spelling: RuhrtalRadweg) is a 240 km long cycle route along the Ruhr from the source at the Ruhrkopf near Winterberg to the mouth near Duisburg-Ruhrort. The cycle route was officially opened with an opening ceremony on the grounds of the Zeche Nachtigall on 30 April 2006.

Kemnader See Weir

Highlight • Bridge

Very nice cycle path around the Kemnader Lake, asphalted and partly with three separate paths for pedestrians, skaters and cyclists. Good starting point for a ride along the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path. From here to the Baldeney Lake in Essen it is about 70 kilometers back.
