Friedrich Harkort war das, was man einen Unternehmer nennt. Umtriebig, rastlos, risikobereit, von Ideen getrieben. Es ging ihm weniger um Geld, als darum, die Welt zu verändern. Harkort gilt zu Recht als Vater des Ruhrgebiets. Ohne sein Engagement, das Ruhrgebiet infrastrukturell zu erschließen, hätte die Industrialisierung in Deutschland sicherlich noch ein paar Jahrzehnte auf sich warten lassen.
Harkort brachte im 19. Jahrhundert die Eisenbahn ins Ruhrgebiet und ermöglichte damit den durch Kohle und Stahl getriebenen Aufschwung. Harkort gründete zusammen mit einem Partner eine der ersten Maschinenbaufirmen Deutschlands (die spätere DEMAG). Harkort engagierte sich in der Politik für die Rechte der Arbeiter und setzte sich für Bildung ein.
An den Unternehmer und Industriepionier Friedrich Harkort (1793-1880) erinnert der Hauptwanderweg X 17 des Sauerländischen Gebirgsvereins. Der Harkortweg führt vom Ebbegebirge durchs Lennebergland ins Wandergebiet Ennepe-Ruhr-Tal und leitet dann durchs Niederbergische nach Düsseldorf, wo die Tour im Stadtteil Kaiserswerth am Rhein endet.@ Quelle: ich geh wandernDa wir noch dabei sind, wird die Collection nach jeder gewanderten Etappe bis die siebte Etappe geschafft ist erweitertErledigt.... alle Etappen fertig :-)))

After it had poured heavily on Thursday and Friday, we set out on Saturday to hike the third stage of the Harkortweg. After the disappointingly dull second stage, we were really excited about the third. A rich "green" ran through the entire stage. Especially nice to look at because everything was still…

We continue with the Harkortweg... this time the stage was very asphalt-heavy, but there were many beautiful views. Especially today's destination Hattingen with the subsequent stop ... (that was something).... This tour was very scenic if it weren't for the high asphalt content.... also to mention the…

This time a really nice tour, lots of forest, also small trails and worth mentioning... actually it was a culinary hike (that's why despite the km & altitude difference + 1000 (+ 1 kg)...😰😬😰... in the middle In the forest there was an old farmer's cupboard, there was cake & coffee (run privately…

Since it made sense, I did this stage as an after-work tour. With the S-Bahn to Essen-Werden, from there back to Ratingen-Hösel. The beginning, the first 6 - 7 km were really, really good. Steep and narrow paths. Then it went for quite a while on the "so-called" Kettwig Panorama "Steig" which consists…

So, that's it.... now I've walked from the Sauerland to Düsseldorf... with stage 7 I end this hiking trail...
The seventh stage started very well again, beautiful forest paths, when the paths got wider I said goodbye to the main path for a few small trails, but I always got back to it. (This saved me…
