    Beautiful path along the Ruhr.

      A very beautiful nature reserve.

        Relaxed, nature-oriented cycling along the Ruhr River offers beautiful views and highlights along the riverbanks, such as the Hohenstein in Witten or the Harkortberg with its climbing forest in Wetter. It's busier on weekends because it connects to Lake Kemnader See. The Hardenstein Castle ruins are located right next to the ferry across the Ruhr, just 100 meters away. Another worthwhile detour. There are beautiful photo opportunities for Komoot everywhere.
