View of the Ruhr

Highlight • Viewpoint

Signposting of the Ruhrtalradweg Ruhr upwards does not match the GPX track on the Ruhrtalradweg website. You have to decide either to drive according to the signs or to be navigated with the track.

Hengsteysee and Kaiser Wilhelm Monument (Hohensyburg)

Ruhr Viaduct at Harkort Lake

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is a great photo opportunity. You feel like you've gone back in time. If a steam locomotive were to roll over it, the time jump would be perfect. ;)

Great corner on Hakortsee. And the viaduct is worth at least 1 photo. You can also take a break in Herdecke.
