HOAG Rail Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

That's what I call sensible recultivation: An old railway line from the colliery traffic of the time was converted into a very recommendable cycle path. There are also plenty of opportunities to take a break with a beautiful panorama.

The 3rd attempt. Hiking twice and cycling today. Am satisfied. My strain is getting better.
Beautiful tour today. We wanted to take a look at the new Emscher estuary. Since the RVR has built something really good. Today on Sunday there were just too many people, so only a quick look from the bridge.

From the RWO Stadium along the Emscher to the Emscher estuary. There was delicious cake in the Emscher estuary courtyard 😀.
Back along the Rhine to Walsum and on the Hoag route back to the stadium.
