Grüner Pfad Cycle Path

From Duisburg harbor in Meiderich the Green Path leads up to Oberhausen Sterkrade. A beautiful old railway line that passes the landscape park Duisburg. The former smelting works is an impressive facility, which is one of the most famous cultural hotspots in the Ruhrgebiet. There are a lot of events going on here, and even so the landscape park is a nice place to take a break. The nearly ten-kilometer-long route can be combined with the super HOAG route afterwards. The HOAG route leads in a large arc back to Duisburg, start and finish point are less than six kilometers apart. Both routes can be well linked to a nice round through the pot.

If you want to start directly with Ruhrpott history in the tour, you should stop at the blue book at the harbor. The little house, all in blue, is one of the oldest stalls in the Ruhr area and is even a listed building. (Https://komoot.de/highlight/229043)

The Green Path is a former railway line between Oberhausen-Sterkrade and Duisburg-Ruhrort and one of the first railway line cycle paths in the Ruhr area. Along the way you can see old tracks and railway markings, but also a lot of nature. The highlight of the Green Path is the Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord.

The Green Path is part of the Industrial Heritage Route.

The self-illuminating cycle path is one of the winning projects of the student competition "Förderturm der Ideen 2016/17"
