The Ruhr is very beautiful here, just south of the weir in Hattingen. The groynes are flat and have a pebble beach where, in good weather, both man and cow cool off. The cycle path is easy to ride if you narrow it down a bit and is interrupted by several cow barriers.

The section between Witten and Essen is beautiful to cycle and almost completely car-free. In good weather, of course, many cyclists are traveling.

Caution! It's not just people who bathe here. The refreshing Ruhr also attracts small and large four-legged friends.
