The Ruhr near Schwerte is a beautiful natural highlight in the Ruhr area, which is particularly suitable for outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking and canoeing. The river Ruhr flows through Schwerte on its way from the Sauerland to its mouth in the Rhine, offering a charming landscape of wide meadows, wooded slopes and quiet river banks. This area is particularly popular with nature lovers as it offers an idyllic river landscape with numerous opportunities for leisure activities.

The Ruhr Valley Cycle Route, one of the most famous and popular cycle routes in Germany, runs along the Ruhr near Schwerte. This 240-kilometer-long cycle route runs from the source of the Ruhr near Winterberg to its mouth in the Rhine near Duisburg and offers cyclists the opportunity to explore the region's diverse landscape and cultural and historical sights. The section of the Ruhr Valley Cycle Route near Schwerte is particularly picturesque and leads through quiet, natural sections that are ideal for relaxed bike rides. There are numerous rest areas along the way where you can take a break and enjoy nature.

The Ruhr is a true paradise for water sports enthusiasts. The quiet sections of the river are ideal for canoeing and stand-up paddling.
