The RUHR is scenically one of the most beautiful German rivers. It is framed by meadows and wooded hills. The Ruhr is now also one of the cleanest German industrial rivers, with hardly anything left of heavy industry and collieries.

The Ruhrauen are an absolute highlight in every season. In summer, the meadows invite you to sunbathe, on sunny winter mornings it is wonderfully quiet and you can enjoy nature to the fullest. You can see herons, geese and the kingfisher - at least if you stop and watch
