The Ruhr Valley Cycle Path is the quietest and most scenic way to cycle from the Ruhr area to the Sauerland (or Sauerland). Especially in towns such as Meschede and Bestwig, he is a great alternative to the road, which is used here, especially on weekends very intense by arriving by car holiday guests. The bike path follows the course of the Ruhr and uses where it goes side streets or just bike paths. He is mostly paved and therefore also suitable for racing, unless you intend to race a race.

In addition to the orientation boards, the Schlauchomat and the drinking water dispenser can make life easier for the racing cyclist. But also the surrounding gastronomy has its charms; o).
Maybe it was enough to put one's legs up on one of the numerous couches and to direct the view of the passing Ruhr to calm down a bit ...
