The here marked section of the Ruhr valley lies on Bochum side in the height of the Koster bridge.
The Ruhrtalradweg leads along here. Upstream is the Kemnader Lake, downstream to Hattingen. Uphill you get to Stiepel or Weitmarer wood.

View of the north shore of Lake Kemnade

Highlight • Viewpoint

In this section, the footpath, the inline skating path and the cycle path are separated. The cycle path is about six meters higher. It is noisy due to the adjacent A43 motorway, but the view from this point is excellent.

Somehow I'm in a crisis. I ride every weekend, the tours are transferred from my Garmin account and remain private. I don't make anything public. I don't feel like it and I don't take any photos either.
My Strava account is also falling asleep 😰.

It was supposed to be a leisurely tour, so far so good. The second part turned out to be quite challenging.

December 8, 2024,Hattingen-Kemnader See; heute keinen Bock auf Wald und Schlamm

Today I didn't feel like going through the woods and mud and cleaning in the dark, so I mostly used asphalt. The rain is starting to get on my nerves. Hattingen, Henrichshütte, Blankenstein Castle, Kemnader Lake.
