Hiking
The towpath can still be seen in many places in the Ruhr Valley on one or both banks of the Ruhr. In the past, several cold blood horses used to pull the Ruhr ships upstream. After the expansion of the middle Ruhr into a shipping route in the second half of the 18th century, the river was navigable to Witten in 1780. Until the beginning of railway construction, it became the most important transport route for coal, but also for other goods.
