Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, here as well as at Sorpesee, you have a side along the main road, next time I would stay on the east side for the way there and back.

Gravel path along the Ruhr in Naturpark Arnsberger Wald

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A nice alternative to the regular Ruhrtal cycle path. A typical dirt road that is a bit slippery when wet, but is otherwise easy to drive on with a gravel bike.
