The Springorum cycle path runs over parts of a former mining railway line that ran from Essen to Bochum-Langendreer. On about ten kilometers you cycle here on the tracks of the Ruhrpott story and you can mostly look forward to a quiet, beautiful and paved route between Bochum Dahlhausen and Bochum Weitmar. Only in the first section of Dahlhausen are you out on loose ground.

The track climbs steadily in the direction of Bochum, so you make a total of about 90 meters in altitude. From the train station in Dahlhausen there is a connecting bike path that leads directly to the Ruhr Valley cycle path, so you can great, low-traffic tours directly into the center of Bochum (or out) drive. The end of the track in Bochum is close to the main station - from here you are very fast, for example, on the Erzbahntrasse.

Incidentally, the railway line was once popularly known as the "Springorum Bahn", because at the edge of the track was the same hard coal power plant. Today, a business park is located on the former power plant site. The bike path reminds of the history of the region.

The last section from Schlosspark Weitmar to Dahlhausen was opened on 07.06.2019 and leads with a slight gradient to the roundabout of Dr.C.-Otto-Straße to Dahlhausen.
The former dirt road became a top paved bike path with plenty of seating for a break and LED light poles for use in the dark season.
Everything was perfect!

Today "Springorum Bike Path". Comfortable gently rising connection from the Ruhr to the city of Bochum. Also the older section of the Ruhr meanwhile asphalted.
