A lovely place to pause for a moment on the Ruhr Valley Trail. Just before the railway bridge, you have a fantastic view of the Ruhr meadows and the nature reserve.

An interesting section of the Ruhr Valley Cycle Route. The bridge is a real eye-catcher. And the tour along the Ruhr meadows is simply wonderful.
