Source of the Ruhr River

It's only a small spring, and somewhat unspectacular. But when you consider what begins here at the source of the Ruhr, this unspectacular aspect is the real highlight! The Ruhr region's eventful history wouldn't exist without this place. Not to mention, the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path begins (or rather ends) here.

It's just the beginning - totally unimpressive, but if you know how the Ruhr develops and how beautiful it is, then it's pretty impressive :-)

Who drives the Ruhrtalradweg, should start at the source, although here only a small trickle and the wall with the blackboard can be seen. Ultimately, the river grows noticeably from here. Not to forget that he gives his name to a large industrial region.
If you drive early in the year, you should make sure that the bike path is snow-free and ice-free and, if necessary, adjust to a bit of mud.
The way to the source, as well as the Ruhrtalradweg itself are here very well signposted.
The journey by bike is easily possible by train. A free car park for arrivals by car is right at the train station.
