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.

The Erzbahntrasse is now paved throughout

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Several times driven from Recklinghausen South, I can only recommend

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

Scenic very beautiful, with many variations and sights

I can only recommend. Great distance ❗️

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.

Super Tour 👍🏻 was fun

Beautifully laid bridge as entry to the Erzbahntrasse.

The old Erzbahntrasse is today a great bike path.

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

Not a tap, but an important north-south connection between the Rhine-Herne Canal and Bochum Westpark. From there direct connection via Parkband West and Springorum cycle path to the Ruhr in Dahlhausen.

Great bike path well visited

The Erzbahnschwinge is a 130 m long, 3 m wide S-shaped bridge for cyclists and pedestrians. It consists of a steel structure braced with ropes. 32-meter masts are arranged, each of which carries one half of the bridge. An impressive construction.
