22 degrees ⛅️; that was exactly my feel-good temperature for cycling.
Today I tackled a section of the (planned) IGA cycle path. The cycle path starts in Duisburg-Hochfeld and connects 10 cities over a distance of 100 km (including 5 future gardens - Duisburg, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Emscherland, Bergkamen

Experiential hiking with bus and train - one way instead of a loop. This is the concept of the book "Heimat erfahren" from Klartext Verlag. The tour runs through the cities of Essen and a small part through Mülheim - always through beautiful settlements and green spaces, past fields, without being significantly

Duisburg-Ruhrort is always worth a bike tour. You get there quickly via the RS1, Broicher Damm, Steinkampstr., Ruhrorter Str. and Ruhrdeich. The ride along the Ruhr riverbank is more scenic; but unfortunately offers no shade. Took a short break at the Schifferbörse pier. It would certainly be interesting

Even more nature 🌳, greenery 🌿 and tranquility 🤫 is really not possible. Hiked through some nature reserves; including the Auberg. Until 2003, this was a Bundeswehr military training area 🪖. At the Menden Bridge, the tranquility briefly comes to an end before it becomes peaceful again in Witthausbusch

Cycled via the Grugatrasse and Veltenbahn to Bochum-Sevinghausen 🚴♀️. Rather today than on May 1st. After about 20 km, only fields and very agricultural 👩🌾 scenery. The rapeseed fields currently in bloom are a real feast for the eyes and always a popular photo opportunity. A little refreshment halfway

Today hiked through the Nachtigallental and Winkhauser Bachtal towards Hexbachtal. At the moment nature looks freshly cleaned. In Frohnhausen used the pedestrian bridge over the A40; as you can see traffic is still rolling 🚗🚙🚕 - but that will change abruptly now before Easter 🐣. At the Dümptener

The starting point was the Baldeneysee bus stop. An uneventful hike led past the headframe of the former Carl Funke coal mine towards the center of Heisingen. Everything you need for daily life is available here. The trail continued along the Ruhr River with a view of the former railway bridge; this

Under bright sunshine and pleasant temperatures, I hiked from Essen Haarzopf through the southern part of Essen to the Schellenberger Forest. A beautiful route; as is so often the case in southern Essen, you either come across the Kettwig Panorama Trail or the Baldeney Trail. The view from the terrace

Today I took advantage of the beautiful weather to hike to the Kammesheidt farm. They were supposed to be serving waffles, mulled wine, and hot chocolate from 2 pm. Poor planning – I arrived too early and didn't want to wait. But my homemade nut slice was still quite delicious. It gave me a real boost for the rest of the hike.

Finally, the RS1 cycle route from the Mülheim border into Essen has been paved; it's running like clockwork now. So, off we went on our annual tour 🚴♀️ to Zollverein. There's always something to see 👀. Meanwhile, the 14 gondolas 🚡 of the sun wheel have been dismantled, and a new visitor center is

Some are already flocking to the early Christmas market 🤶🎄 in Essen-Steele; I prefer to head out into nature 🌳😎. A short detour to Kettwig through the fields; the return trip via the towpath – an absolute highlight at this time of year.

A half-day hike 🥾always close to the Essen/Mülheim city border, crossing the border several times. The starting point was the Grugatrasse under the Wickenburg Bridge; the hike ends in Haarzopf (Neue Mitte); then you can even do some shopping 🛒.

With this great weather 😎, I only hiked the beautiful side of the Ruhr Valley today. 🥾You always come across some kind of hiking trail – today it was the Kettwig PanoramaSteig again. It wasn't a bad idea to wear long pants 👖 despite the heat; the nettles say hello. It's nice that there are various

The starting point was the bus stop 🚎 at Buchholz-Hof in Mülheim. I walked through the A52 underpass and then hiked through the Rossenbeck Valley 🥾, then a few kilometers further on, I walked under the A52 again (Ruhrtal Bridge). It's truly impressive to be so close to the bridge. Unfortunately, the

Here comes the continuation of the IGA cycle path 2027. On already known cycle paths, it continues on the RS1 towards Zollverein, on the Nordsternweg towards the canal, Schleuse Gelsenkirchen, Stölting Harbor up to the Grimberger Sichel junction. The original route would now cross the canal in the direction
