Ruhrstraße Viaduct (PanoramaRadweg niederbergbahn)

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge is one of the most beautiful places on the entire route tour. The view is wonderful and the viaduct is simply an impressive structure. The descent is particularly recommended when you rush quickly over the bridge.

View of the Mintarder Ruhr Valley Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Super long bridge. I found the bridge very impressive to look at from a certain distance from the cycle path, because the bridge is super long and slightly curved; it crosses the Ruhr and the cycle path.

Entenfang Lake Beach

Highlight • Beach

Kiosk closed on Tuesdays, but was still very relaxed on Tuesday for sitting on wooden benches and at tables, ideal for a picnic in the shade.

August 21, 2022,Viadukt Ruhrstraße – Ruhrtal Runde von Heiligenhaus

Well, I know the route through the Ruhr Valley, very scenic but not all areas have a solid driving surface. Shortly before Saarn there was a strange situation, either the person who drove the tour got lost and let the recording continue and turned around or my GPS location was too imprecise, there was a lot of confusion first right …
