Kemnader See Weir

Highlight • Bridge

Very nice cycle path around the Kemnader Lake, asphalted and partly with three separate paths for pedestrians, skaters and cyclists. Good starting point for a ride along the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path. From here to the Baldeney Lake in Essen it is about 70 kilometers back.

Kemnader See – Witten side

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The advantage of the Witten side: a separate path that you don't (actually) have to share with pedestrians or inline skaters.
The disadvantage: the condition is unfortunately not good in places and full of damage to the roots.
So the tip for "passing through" racing cyclists: better to use the northern, Bochum side.

Update: June 2021: the worst damage has been repaired.

Kemnader Lake – Bochum Side

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

I prefer the Bochum side of Lake Kemander with a racing bike, as the paths are better than on the southern, Witten side.

Can be easily combined with tours on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path (i.e. further along the Ruhr towards Hattingen), or south towards Sprockhövel.

Henrichshütte

Highlight • Monument

If you're into the Ruhr area and old stuff, you just have to be here. The technical facilities of the Henrichshütte are impressive, even if you just roll by. If you want, you can spend a lot of time here. For example, at the Museum of Iron and Steel you can learn a lot about the plants and the industrial history of Potts. In addition, there are always interesting special events here. The best place to take a look is here: lwl.org/industriemuseum/standorte/henrichshuette-hattingen
