The same equation applies almost everywhere in the Ruhr area: north equals industry, south equals lovely nature. The east-west railway tracks often divided the urban areas into rich and poor, thus determining the cityscape and urban development in many places. Therefore, this tour today takes you not only in one…

First cycled to Vohwinkel to the S Bahn. No problems with the elevator, you should either just stand in front or in the back with the bikes, there are only the bike racks. Take the S-Bahn to Essen Kupferdreh, from there the tour around Lake Baldeney starts.
I don't find the right side of the lake from Kupferdreh that attractive …

Great tour around the Baldeneysee. But it's actually always very nice there. The south side is a bit nicer for cycling because you ride closer to the water. Even at an early hour it was already pretty busy.
2 playgrounds for the little one were also built in. And of course there was an ice cream at the favorite stall …
