Ruhr Valley Between Werden and Kettwig

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The broad valley at Werden gets narrow shortly before Kettwig. Ruhr, two roads and railway squeeze through here. On the Ruhrtal cycle path directly at the Ruhr you will not notice any street noise!

View of the Mintard Ruhr Valley Bridge on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Here it is totally quiet and really nice. The only thing that somehow reminds you that you are in the pot is the Mintarder Ruhrtalbrücke over which runs the A52. …

View of the Mintarder Ruhr Valley Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Super long bridge. I found the bridge very impressive to look at from a certain distance from the cycle path, because the bridge is super long and slightly curved; it crosses the Ruhr and the cycle path.

RS1 Elevated Promenade, Mülheim an der Ruhr

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

There are only 650 meters, but every meter counts. Incidentally, this section of the RS1 is set up as a slow-speed zone.
Too bad that there is no direct exit …

My last stage on the Ruhrtalradweg to Duisburg. Strengthened with a breakfast, we start in the direction of Mühlheim. The route leads directly along the Ruhr again. At this time I have the route almost to myself. 🤩 Behind Mühlheim you move away from the Ruhr. Along the former garden show grounds you reach the water tower "Aquarius", next to …

June 17, 2022,5. Tag Ruhr- Radweg Essen- Duisburg

Today the last little tour.
From Lake Baldeney
via Kettwich to 🍦 eat and further under the A 52 Ruhrtal autobahn to Mühlheim a.d.Ruhr where you can take a nice break on the Ruhr promenade. Then it is not far and the Ruhr flows into the Rhine. The Ruhr cycle path in Duisburg ends here.

Varied cycle path along the Ruhr, from Essen to Mühlheim for a short lunch break on the bus and then on to Duisburg in tropical temperatures 😅😅

Today the fourth and last stage of the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path from Essen to Duisburg. In the end we added a few more kilometers because of course we also wanted to see the confluence of the Ruhr and the Rhine. 👍😀
