Hengsteysee and Kaiser Wilhelm Monument (Hohensyburg)

Highlight • Lake

Hengsteysee and Harkortsee belong together like brother and sister. Both are former water bodies used by heavy industry that have been converted into well-used recreational waters with good water quality …

View of the Ruhr

Highlight • Viewpoint

Signposting of the Ruhrtalradweg Ruhr upwards does not match the GPX track on the Ruhrtalradweg website. You have to decide either to drive according to the signs or to be navigated with the track.

Wannebach Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The wonderful Wannebach Valley is a must-see. The best route is from Syburg towards Schwerte (downhill). If you haven't been there yet and don't want to go, it's your own fault!

Our round only took us to Herdecke for breakfast in the "Café Erste Sahne". I can highly recommend the café. You get a very good breakfast, nicely presented and high quality food, which is also served nicely. 😉 😋. The first 10km to this point are missing because Komoot was out 😳.
Continue along the Ruhr cycle path past Schwerte …
