Ruhr Cycle Route — Mintard to Kettwig

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

On weekends when the weather is nice, I would take the country road a little further away, as it can get very busy there.

The Esel Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Why is that called "on the donkey" here? The answer is: There used to be not this beautiful road here, but a steep path that the carters had to climb. …

Scenic rural road through the fields

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Highly Recommended! It goes up and down on mostly well paved roads. Caution: The paths are quite narrow, which is a bit silly in motorized oncoming traffic: D

The look speaks for itself! Wonderful well paved road with little traffic, but often walkers and dogs. Beautiful, short, very crisp climbs, north to Heiligenhaus, westbound hinterland route to Ratingen.

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.
