    A typical Ruhrpott-Trassenradweg in its most beautiful form. It begins at the marina on the Rhine-Herne Canal and leads over about eight kilometers former railway line to Recklinghausen-Suderwich.

    The route is named after the König Ludwig colliery, which began coal mining in 1885 in the south of Recklinghausen. This in turn had its name from the Bavarian fairy tale king Ludwig II, who had the famous castle Neuschwanstein built near Füssen. On the way, you will pass by relics from the coal age: old buildings, various railway bridges and even a historic locomotive recall the original purpose of the cycle path.

      Beautiful railway line, with relics from the mining industry to marvel at! There is a diesel locomotive, a battery locomotive and also a catenary locomotive from underground! There is also a coal cart on a tipping device, extension arches with pipelines and EMS rails, a shield extension, a rope pulley and mine graffiti! So almost everything a friend's heart desires!

        The KLT is great to drive. From the Recklinghausen city harbor along the canal to the lock you will find the entrance to the KLT. Over many bridges, with great views. You can also find many relics from the mining industry, as well as many beautiful graffiti.
