Glückauftrasse

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Cycle route to Sprockhövel and on to the Scheetunnel and towards Wuppertal: Most of the routes are less suitable for hikers. On this one that leads over and through Niedersprockhövel, this always seems different to me, since there are very few people on the road and the route is not asphalted. In addition, the route is varied with many insights and views.

Schulenberg Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The Schulenberg tunnel in Hattingen is an old railway tunnel that connected Hattingen to Wuppertal via the coal railway. Today the coal railway cycle route runs there and the tunnel eliminates the strenuous bypass that you had to undertake until a few years ago.

Start of the Kohlenbahntrasse in Hattingen

Highlight • Cycleway

I can only agree with all the tips. This is where the Hattinger coal railway begins, which leads through the Schulenberg tunnel on a dusty slope up to Sprockhövel or further towards the Scheetunnel and the northern railway line. Even so, it is very comfortable to drive on a permanent slight incline.

Kattenturm — Ruins of Lüttelnau Castle

Highlight • Castle

The square tower ruin made of unplastered Ruhr sandstone rises 13 meters high on a two-meter-high hill with a diameter of 25 meters and has a floor plan measuring 7.80 by 7.80 meters. Its northeastern half has collapsed, but the former three tower floors - formerly 16 meters high - can still be clearly seen.
The preserved base floor has outer walls 1.70 to 1.80 meters thick and is occupied by a 4.25 meter wide interior that is 5.50 meters high and closed off by a barrel vault. The ground floor of the tower has a fireplace, a toilet and slit windows. The first floor rises above this with a height of around 5.20 meters and a wall thickness of around 1.35 meters.
At its western corner, the tower ruins are joined by the remains of the former curtain wall made of quarry stone, which enclose the tower in an arch from west to east and secured it on the land side in the 14th century. On top of the remains of the wall, on the western corner of the residential tower, is a partially preserved circular building with a diameter of 3.10 meters and a wall thickness of 60 centimeters. The remains of another extension are on the eastern corner of the tower. In front of the curtain wall, the former moat can still be seen as a three-meter-wide depression on the north side of the castle.

Mintard Ruhr Valley Bridge (A52)

Highlight • Bridge

The Ruhrtal bridge in the south of Mülheim on the border with Essen is the longest road bridge made of steel in Germany at 1,830 meters. The building runs as part of the Federal Highway 52 in east-west direction.

The bridge spans the Ruhr valley in a wide arc and connects the cities of Düsseldorf and Essen via the A52 motorway. This section of the road used to be the freeway-like Federal Highway 288. The bridge is still one of Europe's most important bridge construction projects after the Second World War. The building rests on 18 hollow pillars. The highest roadway height is 65 m above the Ruhr.

Mülheim-Styrum Ruhr Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge is part of the connecting path from Aquarius to Broich Castle. Every couple of meters, play equipment is set up here that promises fun for all ages. Join the big ones :-)

The bridge itself is a beautiful relic from the time when the trains still drove here. Today you have a wonderful view of the Ruins.

Rheinorange

Highlight • Monument

The Rhine Orange is a huge steel sculpture that rises like a kind of lighthouse into the sky exactly at the corner where the Ruhr flows into the Rhine after 219.3 kilometers, where the two rivers together form Europe's largest inland port. A nice beginning or a nice end for the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path.
