About RuhrtalRadweg
240 Kilometer Radfahrvergnügen in NRW, genauer gesagt zwischen Sauerland und Metropole Ruhr – dem neuen Ruhrgebiet.

Kein anderer Fluss in Deutschland verbindet (Industrie-)Kultur und Natur auf so engem Raum wie der RuhrtalRadweg. Beginnend von der Ruhrquelle am Ruhrkopf bei Winterberg reihen sich die verschiedensten Erlebnisse bis zur Rheinorange in Duisburg wie an einer Perlenschnur aneinander.

The last stage of the Ruhr Valley Cycle Route is also the shortest at 27 kilometers. Today it goes from Mülheim an der Ruhr to Duisburg. Before you finish your tour in Duisburg at the train station, you drive along the Ruhr to its mouth in the Rhine.



Because the stage is so short, you can take the time

Almost 50 kilometers are waiting for you today. They lead you on the RuhrtalRadweg from Hattingen to Mülheim an der Ruhr. The track is a bit flat, but conjures up one or the other short climb for you from the sleeve.



Right after your start in Hattingen you will pass small waterfalls of the Ruhr. This

Today the RuhrtalRadweg takes you from Wickede to Herdecke. Also on this stage it goes downhill continuously, whereby the landscape becomes ever flatter. The initial hills of the tour are now replaced by vast meadows and forests that you can see in the distance.

Today's stage from Meschede to Wickede is a bit longer than the previous one. But it also leads you mainly downhill along the beautiful Ruhr.



Shortly after Meschede, you can first look forward to a few smaller climbs before going on a long descent. On the way, some beautiful sections of the Ruhr Valley

Attention: The route is not quite right here, but that's probably because Komoot does not know the ferry at Hardenstein. I had already tried to enter this path, but unfortunately it was not possible.
