Hike with idyllic landscape. Varied, with fields and forest, with ups and downs. Great round that is easy to walk even when it is warm. 😁👍🏻

Very nice hiking route. The Ruhr area has so much nature to offer and it is partly as hilly as in the Eifel. Very beautiful.

We hiked a short but pleasant route today. We parked and started the tour in Heiligenhaus Isenbügel, near Charlottenhof, not far from Kettwig, south of Essen. There, the Laupendahler Höhe leads down to the Rinderbach stream, past countless viewpoints, farms, a juice press, lush meadows, beautiful forests, and much more.

Nice route, which you can start well at the Altfried car park, especially on Sundays the car park is barely occupied.

Nice round, but I found the first half to be nicer, the way out of the valley under the beautiful view is still great, unfortunately the view is quite overgrown. Later there is a road through the forest, a couple of nice little houses, narrow forest and then a little more than a kilometer of road. The highlight clearly at …

It's autumn and we're swapping the bikes for hiking boots.

The starting point of the tour is the Laupendahler Höhe / Essen Kettwig in the immediate vicinity of a bus stop.

The path leads through woods and fields to the Rinderbach, which we then come across again and again.

Unfortunately, the tour was recorded incorrectly, so the altitude difference is not correct. 😖
120 meters in altitude were planned, this will also be possible. 🙂
