Rhein-Herne Canal bike path at Gasometer Oberhausen

Highlight • Cycleway

It's nice that you can walk or drive on both sides of the Rhine-Herne Canal. We particularly noticed on this tour that the heavy ships pushed almost silently through the canal. The usual engine noise could not be heard.👍

May 13, 2025,Schloss Oberhausen: Loriot und "Ach ist der Rasen schön grün"

Finally, I managed to meet up with my lovely @Elke again. 😁
Thank you so much for the wonderful day together!!!

She also suggested we go to the Loriot exhibition at Oberhausen Castle.

I hadn't really thought about it because I hadn't realized it had been extended (until June 15th, so let's go, it's worth it!)

I've noted down some lovely hikes from the book "Ruhr Area - Hikes for the Soul - 20 Wellness Trails." I've already done some of them last year. Due to the warm weather, today I'm not going on a strenuous hike in the Sieg Valley, but rather another trip to the Ruhr Area, this time to Oberhausen.
