Erzbahntrasse

The railway line built at the beginning of the 20th century connected the Rhine-Herne Canal with the blast furnaces of the Bochum association and served to supply iron ore. Today, the track is consistently developed as a paved bike path and connects the Bochum West Park with the zoo "Zoom" in Gelsenkirchen on the Rhine-Herne Canal.

Well-developed bike path on former railway line. Now consistently asphalted

The Erzbahntrasse leads from Gelsenkirchen over Herne to Bochum over 18 bridges and is one of the most beautiful bike paths in the Ruhr area.

Several times driven from Recklinghausen South, I can only recommend

Scenic very beautiful, with many variations and sights

The old Erzbahntrasse is today a great bike path.

Good developed bike and footpath.

The green Ruhr area! The route ideally connects different places of industrial culture

I can only recommend. Great distance ❗️

The Erzbahntrasse is a great bike path on the old railway line. It leads from the Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum West Park to Gelsenkirchen and is 9 km long.
This highlight marks only the entrance to the Erzbahnschwinge and not the whole route.

Super Tour 👍🏻 was fun

Beautifully laid bridge as entry to the Erzbahntrasse.

No one-to-many, but important north-south connection between Rhein-Herne-Kanal and Bochum Westpark. From there direct connection via Parkband West and Springorum cycle path to the Ruhr in Dahlhausen.

Great bike path well visited

Here you just have to stop. Everything there, what the cyclist needs

In Dortmund there is the "Bergmann Brewery" on Schalke (Gelsen) there is the Ge-Bräu and the Ge-Söff. It's well worth the trip, with the heavy Harley-Davidson machines next door.

The highest bike bridge on the Erzbahntrasse. At the same time a super construction ... Top.

Great track with nice views
