Red Bridge Over Goldhammer Bach

Highlight • Bridge

A typical steel truss bridge can be seen here. Especially on hot days, the route, which lies on a steep gravel embankment, is very pleasant due to the dense tree population.

Our round trip took us via Bo.-Dahlhausen, the Bo.-Bermuda triangle, the Bo.-century hall, past the "Erzbahnbude" (resting place for the ore railway line) to the Rheinelbe heap.
From the Haldenspitze we had a wonderful, infinitely wide view of the Ruhr area.

Conclusion of a beautiful but also somewhat challenging bike tour:

As I didn't get as far as I wanted on Friday, but felt good, I went straight on a somewhat more challenging bike tour. First I started the classic way in Hattingen, along the Ruhr. Then up the beautiful but challenging Springorum cycle path, right through Bochum. Although I made …

In view of the bad weather forecast for Pentecost Sunday, I jumped on my bike this morning as a "Pentecost pre-tour". In Bochum, on the grounds of the Centennial Hall, I saw this waffle recipe during a short break: (picture) Do they taste good? I still don't have the quantities.
At the Holtbrügge in Bochum I lost my way as …

Today, when the weather was nice, we took a bike tour from Westpark Bochum. It was dry, but also pretty fresh and windy. I was glad I had my gloves with me. I only felt warm when I saw cyclists in shorts and a T-shirt😂🙈. I can absolutely recommend the 33km round trip. Was fun. 👍✅🚴‍♀️
