    Hiking

    On the city boundary between Bochum and Hattingen is a particularly idyllic piece of the Ruhr valley. As in other sections of the Ruhr between Witten and Duisburg, the old towpath is well preserved and invites to take a walk along the Ruhr.

    The towpath was used before the motorization to pull ships by horses upriver. Here mainly so-called Ruhraaken were used, which served for coal transport. Downstream, the flow of water was enough.
