Südl. Ruhrgebiet, Niederbergisches Land (Ost)

Hurray, I managed to put my 2 shared tour from Saturday together. At least that's the way my planned route is right. Even if the time and altitude don't quite fit together anymore. But I was totally annoyed about hanging up the tour, now it's in one part and everything is good. The route was important to me and not the time.

Today the Kemnader See and the surrounding area was on my to-do list. Starting from a parking lot at the southwest end of Lake Kemnader, we walked a bit along the lake. After 1.5 km left into the higher forest around the golf course of the Bochum golf club and towards Waldsiepen Hevener Straße. After… read more

The Elfringhauser Schweiz in the area of Velbert and Hattingen. Starting point hiking car park "Am Roten Haus" should be well occupied in good weather. a few meters further on Flederbachstrasse there are more places. After 400m it goes down in the direction of the forest and you gain some height. "Coffee… read more

Today it was the turn of the south of Bochum. Unfortunately, the start was a bit late because I had problems finding a parking space while planning. Originally I had planned it at the Cistercian monastery, but the parking lot was quite full and signs that indicated that it was only for visitors. I still… read more

Today was the green between Witten, Wetter a.d.R. and Herdecke on it. And it has a lot of green but also a lot of hills. Start at the hiking car park Kohlensiepen (well filled but still a good tip. From there it went straight into the green and uphill towards Hohenstein / Bergerdenkmal and through the… read more

21 kilometers of different types, the start led first into a piece of forest with logging, but only a short shock, then it went south into the Elbschebachtal first on good paths but from 2.2 you had to switch to single trail to get further south . It is recommended to look at the display in addition… read more

Today still used the great autumn day for a hike in the green between Hattingen and Sprockhövel. Starting point is a small parking lot in the Wodantal with only a short distance along this main road. In a wide arc around Brendenscheid over wide paths and a piece of the Glückauftrasse another arc towards… read more

Please pay attention to what I have to say for the piece from KM 3.52 - 4.74! (Alternative route in the photos).



The route has been cleaned up by a few detours:

Real duration 4:33 hours / 21.4 km 4.7 km/h and 410 m ascent.



Today a 9 euro ticket tour. I had been planning the route in Dahlhausen for a long… read more

The longest journey of the year so far went to Hagen-Vorhalle. My starting point was Werdringen moated castle, no crowded parking lot and after a few meters past the castle you are already in the countryside, in a wide arc it went through the woods from the vestibule with small deviations to the Kaisberg… read more

Today we went to the southern part of Wetter a.d.Ruhr. The hike started at the "Am Böllberg" hiking car park. As I said before, it's probably one of the top 5 of my previous hikes and deserves the ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌳🌳🌳. From the start past the sports field there was a great mix of hiking trails and single trails… read more

Today we went hiking in Elfringhauser Schweiz. It was clear that there were a whopping 600 meters in altitude in front of me and it was still a small challenge, but one that can be mastered. Start at a small parking lot at the Nice Valley No.1 (not at the bath itself) but the parking lot at the bath… read more

Today the starting point of the S-Bahn stop at Wülfrath-Aprath. Ideal for public transport and also by car as there is a large P&R car park. After a mere 250m you are already in the countryside. The road from there is a mix of field, forest and meadow over wide paths or single trails of acceptable quality… read more

Thanks to the 9-euro ticket, it's easy to get to today's hiking destination, Velbert-Neviges. The aim was to hike from Neviges in the area around the districts of Neviges, Siepen, Rosen Hügel and Pöthen. Less than 50 m from the train station, it's already turning green. The Donnenberger Str. was a thorn… read more

I've never been here either. Lots of landscape and Langenberg is also worth a detour. The tour was well planned, only because I was able to leave an hour late, I caught a bit of rain in the end. Unfortunately, it is strongest on the section that is least able to tolerate it. I found the tour itself very… read more

Today something more eastern, we went to Hattingen. Niederbonsfeld and Niederwenigern. It started right away with a crisp slope to get warm. Direction Isenberg Castle. From there down to almost the Ruhr, then through forest paths lively uphill downhill to Niederwenigern. Then it went back more and more… read more

And back on the road in the south of Essen, starting in Essen Byfang on a small parking lot that is probably less known but shows many ways to Essen places. It went uphill again through wooded areas, fields and small peripheral buildings. At 1.87 km it would have been wiser to turn left instead of right… read more

Today another gap closure to my Collection Südliches Ruhrgebiet and Niederbergisches Land. In the north of Velbert at a quiet hiking car park we started in the direction of Langenhorster Busch / Wald then on the A44 towards NSG Asbachtal in a bend on a really great single trail back south towards Velbert… read more
