View of the Mintard Ruhr Valley Bridge on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Here it is totally quiet and really nice. The only thing that somehow reminds you that you are in the pot is the Mintarder Ruhrtalbrücke over which runs the A52. It is the longest road bridge in Germany, which is constructed of steel. You see them from afar, until you finally drive under it.

Heltorf Castle

Highlight • Castle

Heltorf was first mentioned in the 11th century as the Helethorpe farm in the Kaiserswerth Abbey's register of rents.
Early owners were the Lords of Heldorp. Otto von Heldorp is already mentioned as the owner of Heltorf Castle in 1167.
