wunderschönes Essen

Fischlaken is one of the southern districts of Essen; it borders on the Baldeneysee in the north and merges into the Bergisches Land in the south. The fields, pastures and forests of this hilly landscape invite (us) to go hiking rather than cycling.



All photos were taken in the city of Essen!

This beautiful hike leads in the Essen district of Heidhausen around the Ruhrlandklinik, which is located high on a mountain ridge. It goes uphill and downhill in constant alternation, sometimes with a far-reaching view of the heights, sometimes through shady stream valleys.

In the Ruhr valley between Kettwig and the Mintarder Bridge in Mühlheim, there is neither a road nor a railway line that could disturb with their noise. The paved towpath is shared with cyclists.



When it becomes possible again, you should not miss the opportunity to have Tetris coffee and cake on the… read more

A section of the Kettwig Panorama Trail, expanded into a circular route. It goes up and down properly, but you shouldn't expect a clear view of the Ruhr from it.

Second section of the Kettwig Panorama Trail, expanded into a circular route. The reward for the 120 vertical meters is a beautiful view of the Ruhr valley from two viewing platforms.



Sighting en route: three deer!

The Borbeck Mühlenbach is a tributary of the Berne with a length of at least 10 kilometers. It is still a “Köttelbecke” for long stretches, but its (complex) renaturation is in full swing and - viewed from the source - has now reached Frohnhausen.



Like the Berne (komoot.de/tour/224662827) I wanted to… read more

This circular route leads - starting and ending in the Bredeneyer villa district - over the fields of the rural Essen district of Schuir (formerly "Wallney"), past the Essen office of the German Weather Service with radar tower and measuring points ("Meteorology") as well as the telescopes of the Walter… read more

Nice hike over the Fischlakener heights and along the Hardenbergufer of the Baldeneysee to Haus Scheppen. Hiking is healthy, and to top it off, there was the well-deserved French mayo with currywurst 😋



The subsequent detour over the Baldeneysteig between Hespertalbahn and Baldeneysee offered us previously… read more

Stroll through the November sun - a bit rare this year. I have made the sculpture "the cloth" a very successful one in my eyes.

Nice bike trip in the bright winter sun.



At Zollverein, I can never resist the temptation to photograph subjects that I have already photographed 100 times a 101st time.



For the ascent to the Schurenbachhalde, I ended up on the new MTB trail in sections, but of course I didn't have the right vehicle for… read more

It has been decades since I completely circled the Baldeneysee. So it was time again.



On the way you touch the FFH area "NSG Heisinger Aue" and cross (pushing on a footpath) the bird sanctuary "NSG Heisinger Bogen", among other things. with colonies of gray herons, grebes and cormorants. Soup-plate-sized… read more

One of my favorite rounds through the Ruhr Valley leads over the Grugatrasse to Rüttenscheid and then through the city forest past the Kluse to the Baldeneysee. Sometimes I still take the Schlenker with me to Werden (see komoot.de/tour/31186829). At the Biker-Treff Haus Scheppen there is traditionally… read more

Almost always in the countryside and almost exclusively on bike paths (mostly former railway lines), it goes through the Hexbachtal to the north, then along the Rhine-Herne Canal and along the (not yet renatured) Emscher to the east, finally to the Zollverein World Heritage Site and back.
