The Haniel spoil tip and the beautiful Rotbach valley are just two highlights of this gravel ride. From the former coal mine site in Osterfeld (OLGA Park), the route heads north along the Jacobitrasse. The Stations of the Cross climb up the Haniel spoil tip is the sporty, but also…

https://www.ruhr-tourismus.de/de/radrevierruhr/tagestouren-und-rundkurse/kirchheller-heide-und-rotbachroute.html (please consider my individual starting point) Own rating: 3 / 7⭐ Start / finish: Halde Haniel car park (Birkhahnstraße 29, 46145 Oberhausen) (free of charge) Tour highlights: Panorama of the Halde Haniel, Rotbach-Weg, (Rhine), Emscher Weg, HOAG-Trasse, Zeche Sterkrade, (Olga Park), (Jacobi-Trasse) Briefly summarized: - due to the time, it was deserted today - I was the only one to watch the sunrise today and later I only met a few people 😅 - Path condition: mostly asphalted paths, also roads, forest floor and occasionally there was a longer section of gravel/gravel - Pustekuchen mit Rhein: from km 24.2 there was a closure and I had to take the detour up to km 26.4 😑 - I shortened the tour from Sterkrade and left out the Olga Park and the Jacobi route - Possible detours: NSG Hiesfelder Wald, NSG Kirchheller Heide and Rheinaue Walsum I'm just about giving this tour 3 stars - I don't know who thought it up! 🤷🏼♀️ The goal of the tour was the Rhine, so to speak - and that's bad if you're not allowed to drive there at all due to construction sites ⛔️ Apart from that, the way through the city is really borderline, because there are definitely nicer ways! Only the Halde Haniel, the Rotbach-Weg and the Emscher-Weg could convince me - that was fun and made my Gravel-🧡 jump! I really wanted to take the sunrise with me today like on my first tour https://www.komoot.de/tour/535844138, but I wouldn't want to do this tour anymore and would rather modify the tour 😜 (combi with Kirchheller Heide)
