The Ruhr region is still an insider tip for cycling in Germany. You’ll no doubt be pleasantly surprised when you browse through the five Tours in this Collection. These long-distance cycle routes lead you through this culturally rich, urban region along leafy paths, off the beaten track.

Highlights en route include the Nachtigall Colliery in Witten, the Archaeological Park in Xanten or the UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein in Essen. The popular Ruhr Valley Cycle Route from Winterberg to Duisburg, the historic Roman-Lippe Route from Dettmold to Xanten, the exciting Industrial Culture by Bike Route and the unusual Emscher Trail promise you an exciting cycling holiday in the heart of the radrevier.ruhr!

Thanks to the excellent public transport network, you can easily reach the start and end points of the Tours by train. On the way, you can connect to the rail network, so you are completely flexible. It’s also easy to divide your Tour into stages on these long-distance cycle routes, as there are numerous accommodation options located directly along the route.
