Ruhr Valley Cycle Route near Schwerte

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

There are very beautiful sections of the Ruhrtalradweg, but unfortunately it often goes along roads and railway tracks.

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: Section at the Ruhr Valley Ferry

Highlight • Cycleway

When the weather is nice on weekends, it tends to be overcrowded and the cycle path is too narrow for the mixture of pedestrians, cyclists and skaters etc.

Confluence of the Ruhr and the Lenne

Highlight • River

The Lenne flows east past the core of Hagen. Here she meets the dysentery. The Hohensyburg lies opposite the estuary.

View of the Hengsteysee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Partly the bike path leads over a kind of panoramic road. It feels like it was built over the lake. Really nice here.
