Coal Railway Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

The old railway line branches off behind Scher towards Hasslinghausen and Gevelsberg. It is not entirely paved, but easily passable.

Ruhr Viaduct at Harkort Lake

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is a great photo opportunity. You feel like you've gone back in time. If a steam locomotive were to roll over it, the time jump would be perfect. ;)

Harkortsee Railway Viaduct

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Great corner on Hakortsee. And the viaduct is worth at least 1 photo. You can also take a break in Herdecke.

View of the north shore of Lake Kemnade

Highlight • Viewpoint

In this section, the footpath, the inline skating path and the cycle path are separated. The cycle path is about six meters higher. It is noisy due to the adjacent A43 motorway, but the view from this point is excellent.
