At this point you have made exactly half the distance from the source of the Ruhr in Winterberg to the mouth in Duisburg. The Ruhr Valley Cycle Path is a premium cycle path that is used by many cyclists.

View of the Ruhr

Highlight • Viewpoint

Signposting of the Ruhrtalradweg Ruhr upwards does not match the GPX track on the Ruhrtalradweg website. You have to decide either to drive according to the signs or to be navigated with the track.

Ruhr Valley Cycle Path at the Ruhrfeldgraben

Highlight • Cycleway

The path does not lead directly along the Ruhr, but through the Ruhraue on a wide moat. You can take a nice look at the landscape.
