      Ruhr Valley Cycle Path Duisburg – Between Nature, Industrial History, and Urban Flair

      At approximately 240 kilometers, the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path is one of the most famous cycle paths in the Ruhr region, running from the source of the Ruhr River in the Sauerland region to its confluence with the Rhine near Duisburg. The section through Duisburg offers a diverse mix of natural experiences, industrial culture, and urban ambiance.

      On mostly flat and well-developed routes, the cycle path leads through green river meadows, natural recreation areas, and along historic industrial sites. Particularly impressive is the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park, a former steelworks that today delights visitors as a leisure and cultural park with highlights such as the Blast Furnace 5. Here, you can experience how industrial history blends with nature and modern use.

      The route continues to Duisburg's Inner Harbor, a revitalized urban district with a maritime flair, numerous restaurants, museums, and cultural events. The inner harbor is currently the official destination of the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path, as access to the nearby "Rheinorange," the landmark at the mouth of the Ruhr, is restricted due to construction work.

      The cycle path is fully signposted and consists largely of paved paths or former railway lines, ensuring a comfortable and safe cycling experience. Along the way, you'll find numerous rest areas, information points, and connections to other cycle paths, such as the Emscher Park Cycle Path.

      Ideal for day trips or multi-day tours, the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path in Duisburg offers both athletic challenges and relaxing sections. It combines exercise with culture, history, and nature – a true highlight for all cyclists and explorers.
