Cycling

A towpath or towpath is a pathway directly on the banks of rivers or canals designed to allow people and draft animals (for example, horses) to pull wooden freighters upriver. The process was called treideln. The treidel horses and treidlers on the towpaths were connected by a rope with the ships.

A very nice bike path right along the Ruhr. Sometimes even between the Ruhr and an old arm of the Ruhr. Anyone who thinks that the briquettes are still flying low in this region should go on this tour to learn better. But beware: The countless bird species actually sometimes fly quite deep ...
