This bike path leads from Essen-Kettwig to Mülheim an der Ruhr and roughly follows the course of the old Lower Ruhr Valley Railway. Rough, because the old railway line is only partially available and is actually used in the course of the route only to about four kilometers. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful route, which partially corresponds to the course of the Ruhr Valley Cycle Route. Between Broich and Saarn you cycle over the grounds of the Landesgartenschau 1992, where the railway embankment has completely disappeared. A highlight for railway enthusiasts, however, is the Ruhr bridge south of Mülheim-Styrum.
