RS1 - Hochpromenade Mülheim Ruhr

There are only 650 meters, but every meter counts. Incidentally, this section of the RS1 is set up as a slow-speed zone.
Too bad that there is no direct exit to the Ruhr promenade. Here you have to either take the elevator, which also likes to fail or you have to carry the bike up the stairs.
If you do not want to, you either have to drive to the train station to get there, or since May 15, 2019, the bridge over the Ruhr has opened and the section to the Ruhruni is ready.

A slow traffic zone on the Radschnellweg, LOL. A prime example of how the Ruhr area (and also the state with its support policy) fails again for itself. The expensive feasibility study on the RS, funded by the federal government with a lot of money, has set clear standards for cycling routes, as used in NL, Denmark and Flanders. Here they are injured in an actually conflict-poor area without need. The federal government should revoke the funding for the feasibility study. Fehplanung # 2.

Every now and then there is a coffee-bike on sunny days

Up to this point from Essen coming very fast connection to MH without cars and if you're lucky pedestrians on the bike lane. At exactly this point, however, the city of Mülheim has decided to make benches and a structural restriction, which certainly will accommodate the recreational riders and pedestrians, the concept wheel instead of car or train but a bit counteracts, there are no green spaces and rest areas in the middle of the fast lanes for cars and trains.
The current connection to the cycle network of the city of Mülheim is a joke of the capacity (1 elevator & at the main station a narrow ramp in the wrong direction) and the orientation to a fast running traffic.

Elevator still broken. Either take the stairs or continue to MH HBF and take the ramp there.

... even better, if the railway bridge were in operation ....

Nicely built bike path RS1

The track is good for driving, but beware of the elevator !!! It is usually broken and then you have to go down the steps or drive back a bit. :-(

Great bike path, wide and paved. For the most part along the railway line.

I'm looking forward to the entire track.

Perfect place for a short break

It is a shame that this planning sloppiness leads to a constantly broken elevator! You can not drive on the Prommenade, because at the end you do not leave the RS1 and do not drive in to Mülheim. Because only with the elevator you could leave the high praise.

The way is super developed.
However you get in both directions the impression minimal uphill drive.

Class expansion of the RS1. Too bad that not everything is up to par

The piece from here to the Ruhr is again a bit more bombastic. Just great.

The fastest bike path ever !!

The RS1 is always worth a drive 😉

Very nice way, we would like to drive the 101km in one go.

There is a very good view of the Ruhr and the water city, which have only recently opened their shops and now only have out-of-house sales because of Corona.

Here, high above the motorways, cyclists can relax and cycle on the old railway line of the Rheinische Bahn. The section is also part of the "GartenStadt" district route.

The RS1 is already "crossing-free" from Mülheim an der Ruhr to Essen, and when it is completed, from Duisburg to Dortmund.
