A quiet gravel path through the Ruhr meadows—significantly more relaxing than the busy Ruhr Valley Cycle Path on the other side. Perfect for a peaceful ride in beautiful surroundings.

The Hohensyburg, also known as Sigiburg, is a historic castle ruin in the Dortmund district of Syburg, which looks back on an eventful history. Its origins date back to the 8th century, when a Saxon rampart was built at this strategically important location. In 775, the complex was conquered by Charlemagne and served from then on as a Frankish fortress. Around 1100, a stone castle made of Ruhr sandstone was built here, but it was partially destroyed in 1287.
