Rotbach South Bank

A wonderful route along the Rotbach, and above all not so crowded. You can cycle on well-developed cycle paths to the point where it flows into the Rhine.

In the area of the city of Dinslaken, ie the "City", the signs must be observed very carefully, the route of the cycle path is tricky. Sometimes confusing for those unfamiliar with the area. But the section in front of the confluence with the Rhine is great, as well as from Rotbachsee to the source of origin with the many streams is worth seeing. Unfortunately, the path in the Oberhausen area is sometimes too far from the stream and the view is made even more difficult by fences that are still being expanded (for nature conservation).

The Rotbach overcomes a height difference of 45 m on its 21.9 km long path, which corresponds to a mean bed gradient of 2.1 ‰. It drains a 51.564 km² catchment area in the area of the cities of Voerde, Dinslaken, Bottrop and Oberhausen.
