Views from the Ruhrhöhenweg

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Anyone expecting views of the Ruhr will be disappointed. Although you can look far into the beautiful landscape, hikers will look in vain for the river from up here. Nevertheless, the "Ruhrhöhenweg" is definitely worth recommending.

Center of Wetter (Ruhr)

Highlight • Monument

Center of the city of Wetter on the Ruhr. At the same time a nice and quiet place to take a break with a great view of the Blumental and Voßhöfen.

May 18, 2025,Ruhrhöhenweg mit Aussichten – Burg Volmarstein Runde von Wengern

It was one of the worst tours, with little to see, and to top it all off, a private citizen suddenly blocked the path shortly before the end. The locals were also surprised. They looked for a detour and took it to reach their destination.

This tour starts from the village square in Volmarstein (car park or bus stop for public transport) and leads through the small town at the beginning and end. In between, the landscape is wonderful for hiking: narrow paths through shady forest, past fields and with wonderful views over hilly meadows. To my liking. By the way, a small highlight was …

As already mentioned in the title, there are many beautiful views on this tour. Right at the beginning is a beautiful rest area with many beautiful little loving details. Endless photo opportunities. The route was for the most part very successful. Unfortunately there was no possibility to stop in Volmarstein 😒. But whatever. All in all definitely recommendable.

On my tour, at the "scrap dealer," a green gate was installed across the hiking trail. I suspect it was installed by the scrap dealer who doesn't want people to go there.
But you can walk through it just fine.
I just closed the gate behind me, and that's it.
