Your new hiking shoes are waiting for their first use? You want to get out and spend a whole day in nature — immediately and without having to travel too far? Then we've got the perfect Collection for you: not only the Ruhr, but also narrow brooks, wide reservoirs and renaturalized lakes lure you out into nature in the Ruhr area. That's why we have selected seven first-class tours on which you can explore the most beautiful flowing and standing waters in Germany's largest conurbation – and you'll be amazed at the picturesque landscapes hidden around Dortmund, Bochum, Essen and Duisburg.

Relaxed walkers stroll through the Saarner Ruhrauen, families enjoy the playground offer on a hike at the Duisburg Sechs-Seen-Platte and enduring hikers circle the Hengsteysee and climb up to Hohensyburg. If you prefer to explore unspoilt landscapes, then you should take a look around the edge of the Ruhr area: The Felderbach valley in Elfringhausen Switzerland, the Hullern reservoir or the quaint Rotbachtal valley are far away from the region's industrial heritage and allow you to immerse yourself in nature.

Thanks to good connections – whether by car or bus and train – nothing stands in the way of your weekend adventure with our tours. Just browse through our selection and let us inspire you for your next hike along the water.
