Allee des Wandels (Herten-Disteln Section)

Highlight • Cycleway

The Allee des Wandels is a wonderfully developed, former railway line. It connects the Hoheward dump and the Ewald colliery with the Westerholt district in a relaxed manner away from the traffic. Some sections belong to the RevierRoute "Haldenglück".

For once, I didn't plan this tour myself, but let Komoot suggest it. Was a very nice round, could have come from my own pen. Follow the railway line behind mallets and irons to Hof Wessels, otherwise you would have had to push over steps. Great green Ruhr area.
