Blue Bridge over the Emscher with a view of the new Emscher mouth

Highlight • Bridge

The Emscher has received a “natural” inflow to the Rhine. Nature will certainly take a lot back. The picture is from April 2023.

Walsum Rhine Meadows Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Especially in good weather and just before sunset (but also otherwise) highly recommended! Under certain circumstances, depending on the direction of travel, the headwind should not be underestimated when you are on the top of the dike.

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.

November 13, 2022,2022-11-13 Wie sieht's denn an der Emschermündung aus

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.

That was the start of the 2022 cycling season.
In disigen weather, about 3 degrees plus. I had to clean my glasses more often because of the bad weather.
Nice to drive with a stop in the Walsumerhafen, with nut corners and mulled wine to strengthen for the further journey.
👍👍🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️📷

As always on the Rhine dyke, the wind was against me, but otherwise it was a nice ride.

From the RWO Stadium along the Emscher to the Emscher estuary. There was delicious cake in the Emscher estuary courtyard 😀.
