Kettwig's Historic Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Here you roll over the Ruhr bridge in Essen Kettwig. Out of the city you are super fast in the countryside. The city of Kettwig is really worth a stop. …

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 Düsseldorf from the Countryside Path

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

very quiet and quite well paved. On the way up, I recommend turning around from time to time and enjoying the panorama of Düsseldorf. Or take a break on the panorama bench.
