April 30, 2022,Bigge- Arnsberg RuhrtalRadweg

Turn right behind Freiohl! It is completely incomprehensible why this section of the river is missing from the collection. biboskleinefugen.com/2022/05/07/bigge-arnsberg

June 14, 2022,Oberer Ruhrtalradweg

The Ruhrtalradweg has received a lot of advance praise and is also - according to our own opinion - highly recommended, especially in the middle section between Schwerte and Bochum. So today I took on the upper section between Olsberg and Arnsberg. Arrival and departure are easily possible via the Obere Ruhrtalbahn from the direction of the Ruhr area via …

We start the Ruhr Valley Cycle Route in good weather and with a few climbs.
It takes us along the Ruhr with a few diversions and roads.

Wide views of the wooded mountains and the Ruhr make up for it.
The Planet Trail and some art can also be admired as we cycle past, such as the painted chairs in …

After 45.5 kilometers my legs gave out, I actually wanted to go to Menden. I then took the train from Arnsberg to Menden.

October 10, 2021,Ruhiger Sonntagsausflug Bestwig - Neheim-Hüsten

Easy Sunday tour to relax. With the Sauerlandexpress train from Neheim-Hüsten to Bestwig. Return on the Ruhrtalradweg by bike directly from the train. On average, there is almost always a gradient on good bike paths. It is also good to leave with children over 12 years of age.
