Elbschetalbahn Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

I could imagine such a structure would be unaffordable these days, given the construction costs. It's crazy, but anyone with a soft spot for it will get their money's worth. It's flat, I know...

View of the Ruhr from Bommern Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Even if there are definitely nicer bridges (without cars) over the Ruhr, the view is always impressive. Especially for people who are out early or late. Because the sunrise and sunset are always special from the bridge.

Old Witten-Gedern railway bridge on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path

Highlight • Bridge

A particularly beautiful place on a very beautiful section of the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path. The old railway bridge and the tunnels as well as the view of the Ruhr meadows are worth a look even after the 100th time.
