Erzbahntrasse Abschnitt Süd – Bahntrassenradeln

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.

Hello. As far as I know the Erzbahntrasse and drive, it is mostly asphalted and very passable.

The Erzbahntrasse is now paved throughout

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 track is also suitable for inline skating, but on fine days only in the morning until 10 o'clock & in the evening from 20 o'clock.

Wonderful to drive, road bike suitable because everything asphalted.

A nice, well-developed bike path. Off the road you drive with good views of the area.

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.

The Erzbahntrasse is from Bochum Jahrhunderthalle to the Gelsenkirchen Zoo (zoom experience world for inline fitness, also rollerski, branch off at Holgers erzbahnbude, over direction Zollverein Zollverein and high to the Rhine Herne channel can also be used with inline and rollerski

The old Erzbahntrasse is today a great bike path.

Beautifully created cycle route between Bochum Westpark and the ZOOM Adventure World at the Rhine Herne Canal.

Super Tour 👍🏻 was fun

Beautifully laid bridge as entry to the Erzbahntrasse.

Beautiful bicycle route from the Rhine Herne Canal (Grimberger sickle) to the Jahhunderthalle in Bochum. But not necessarily continuously from Asphaltierter surface.

For skating I find the track annoying, because often a lot of sticks and something on the track and the road is also quite rough. General suitability is available. Depends on the claims. But think Phoenix Lake and Kemnader Lake are better

I would like to know if the track is suitable for inlineskate ?!

The Erzbahnstrasse is certainly from the ground for roller skates and the like agreed. Nevertheless, I advise against it. The route is heavily frequented by cyclists and a roller skater comes quickly by his space-charged movement in conflict with the wheels. Here, the Kemmander Lake in Bochum with separate tracks is urgently advisable.

How long is the route of the old railway line?
