"After we have to interrupt our conversations for a few unavoidable meters on the obvious Mintarder Straße, the Saarn-Mendener-Ruhrauee once again leaves room for relaxation and conversation, while at the same time enchanting with its native trees and the pond landscape in Kellermanns Loch, which is still sluggish in winter.

“The Mülheim floodplain landscape offers both scenic beauty and valuable habitats for animals and plants. With the designation as an FFH area, the qualities of the Ruhr meadow were confirmed far beyond the borders of Mülheim. An FFH area is an “area of common interest of the European Union”, where the abbreviation stands for the Flora-Fauna-Habitat Directive of the European Union.” bswr.de/downloads/flyer_ffh_ruhraue_klein.pdf

We follow the Ruhr in a northwesterly direction on narrow bank paths; keep noting that we often hiked here “in the past - before the recordings began”; know or rediscover many ways.

An official-looking stile lures us into the thorny thicket (biologically speaking, however, the blackberry does not have thorns, but rather spines. (Wiki)) of the “Duck's Beak”, which we leave after a brief look at the Ruhr along the same path.

Behind the Kahlenberg weir comes the “new”; We have not yet walked along the Saarner Auenweg or the eagerly awaited Gerbersteg.”

A beautiful and varied floodplain landscape. It is a great place to hike, run, do sports and relax. There are plenty of photo opportunities along the way.
