The Mülheim-Heißen–Altendorf (Ruhr) railway line is a historic railway connection from Heißen (today Mülheim (Ruhr)-Heißen) to Altendorf (today Essen-Burgaltendorf), which begins in the east of Mülheim an der Ruhr and essentially runs through the south of Essen.
The footpath and cycle path on the first 8.6 kilometers of the former railway line is called "Grugaweg", also known as "Grugatrasse".

Very nice bike path on a former railway line, so there are hardly any noticeable gradients. Connects eastern and western parts of the city within the Essen city area without car traffic, everything in the countryside, partly along the Ruhr. Absolutely relaxed driving style, just not on weekends when it could get crowded as pedestrians and cyclists both like to use this route.
