    Great location right on the Ruhr; old, coarse cobblestone; sturdy shoes make sense 🥾

      The towpath is very interesting historically. One can hardly imagine the difficult work of the skippers. The 4km long path, laid out with uneven stones, is sometimes very slippery and muddy. Solid, hard-wearing footwear is essential. Unfortunately, you have to look down more often than up.

        The entire towpath is paved with coarse stones and therefore very uneven. Surefootedness and sturdy shoes are very important. After rain, the path is also muddy, there is a risk of slipping.
