Short, relaxed, and easily manageable with children. The family route is part of the "Day of the Climbs" and invites you to discover Kettwig at a leisurely pace. It leads you through Kettwig's old town, past historic buildings, small squares, and always close to the Ruhr River. Short distances, minimal

Old-town charm, panoramic views, and rural tranquility. The Kettwig Route is one of the five tours of the "Day of the Climbs" and partly follows the Kettwig Panorama Trail. Here you'll discover the Kettwig district in the far southwest of Essen. Winding alleyways, lovingly preserved half-timbered houses

Long, scenic, and varied. The professional route is the most challenging of the five tours on "Day of the Climbs." It follows the complete Kettwig Panorama Trail, which was opened in 2020, and truly lives up to its name.



The landscape along the route is particularly diverse. Forests, open fields, agricultural

The BaldeneySteig, a roughly 26-kilometer circular trail around Lake Baldeney, offers a unique nature experience with its well-marked hiking trails. And all this in the heart of a big city. The landscape along the trail is delightfully diverse. While steep forests, narrow paths, and magnificent views
