Bochum - Essen über Gelsenkirchen
Bei dem frühlingshaften Wetter habe ich nur den Vormittag gearbeitet und bin dann los gezogen mit meinem Fahrrad. Zunächst auf der Erzbahntrasse raus aus Bochum, dann neue Wege durch Gelsenkirchen und Essen geschlendert. Hin- und Rückfahrt mit der S1.

Castrop-Rauxel - Kamen / Kanäle, Flüsse und Bäche
Meine Sonntagstour, dieses mal von Castrop-Rauxel nach Kamen, mit Kanälen (Rhein-Herne sowie Datteln-Hamm), Flüssen (Emscher, Lippe und Seseke), zahlreichen Bächen (vor allem der Kuhbach, derzeit ausgetrocknet aber mit toll ausgebautem Radweg) und diversen Brücken hin und her. Highlights für mich waren Schloss Schwansbell und Zeche Waltrop.

A beautiful loop in western Dortmund. The highlight of the day for me: the next section of the Hösch harbor railway is already partially open!

A local loop, via Witten-Stockum onto the Rheinischer Esel (Rhine Esel) and then through Witten Mitte to Bommern, across the Ruhr River, and onto the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path. We took the Ruhr Valley ferry, then circled Lake Kemnader See and followed the Oelbach stream to Bochum-Langendeer. From there

I took the bridge day and used it for a relatively spontaneously planned tour from Haltern am See to Essen-Frohnhausen. The first half, in particular, was really great. Later, near Bottrop and into Essen, I realized that I hadn't planned the route as well and therefore had more sections on main roads

A lovely holiday ride along the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path from Witten to Essen-Steele, this time with a detour to the Heinrichshütte in Hattingen (I highly recommend it). I started early (I was among the first people to take the Ruhr Valley Ferry at 9:00), but toward the end, the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path

Today, on a long weekend, I got around to cycling part of the Sauerland Cycle Ring, from Finnentrop to Meschede. The tour was challenging at times, but definitely worth it. The entire route is paved and leads through the beautiful Sauerland landscape.
The highlight, of course, was cycling through the

This morning, I took the regional train to Lüdinghausen to explore the area and the route back to Dortmund. Thankfully, the rain showers passed during the short drive. That was a good thing, because I didn't have any rain gear with me 😊.

I actually wanted to ride part of the Sauerland Cycle Ring on the bridge day, but had to change my plans. Hence this route, which I've had on my list for a while. A great tour with new and familiar railway lines, and of course, the beautiful Schulenberg Tunnel (cold shock in this warm weather).

I worked for half a day and then set off to take advantage of the weather. I followed the Emscherweg north out of Dortmund, only to find one more detour! Then I crossed the jump, continued along the Emscher, and took several annoying detours. I apparently celebrated too soon 😂. Finally, I took the Erzbahntrasse back to Bochum.

This afternoon I was able to enjoy the sun and take a lovely walk west to Lake Phönixsee and the Hösch Harbor Railway. Work on the next section of the Hösch Harbor Railway seems to be progressing well.

A good start to the weekend with a lovely tour from Kamen back to Dortmund via part of the Sesekeweg, past Bönen, then along the Alleeradweg.

I finished work a little early today and took advantage of the great weather for a nice bike ride. Once again, I enjoy riding along the Lorraine routes. Unfortunately, the ramp near the Bochum public utility company is currently closed, and the detour leads partly over an unsightly temporary gravel road.

Repeated a lovely trip from last autumn. Unfortunately the Ruhr Valley ferry is not yet running at Hardenstein Castle, which is a shame. Unfortunately that was not on their website. So I had to take the slightly hilly bypass past the castle ruins. Otherwise today was great sunny weather, almost no wind

Today I took advantage of the nice weather again, even though it was still below zero when I set off. Heat patches under my toes did a good job and my feet didn't get as cold as they did on the last two Sundays 😀.
There was a thin layer of ice on the canal 😳.
I lingered a bit at the harbor, lots of nice
