I've known the Rotbach stream since we moved to Hiesfeld, which is a good 25 years ago.
Thanks to the restoration work, the once straight-flowing stream has once again become …

Also this lake is owed to the mining. The seams in the subsurface can be thought of slowly and there are always such depressions. It's just good that nature is …

We feel a special connection to some places. But what does that actually mean? And how does such a relationship differ from one with a person?

April 22, 2023,Rotbachroute – Heidesee und Heidehof Runde von Grafenwald

Super nice lap with Bobo my driver calmly drive. Start at 10.15 was not so crowded and a lot to see. Pure nature. Weather optimal at almost 20 degrees and partly cloudy sky. A few climbs here and there but doable. My first big bike tour was a beginner and I persevered. The next tours will follow.
Have fun

Today it should be the Rotbachrunde. It is varied and mainly leads through forests or fields. Part of the route goes past the Lohberg colliery, here you cycle on bike paths next to the traffic. That didn't bother us, because that's how we got to know a beautiful colliery settlement. Brief view of the Rotbachsee and a few others that …

November 16, 2024,Rotbach – Zeche Lohberg - Glückauf - Tour

What a beautiful tour! Our pot is great, but so is Komoot! We made sandwiches and filled the thermos with plenty of coffee. We packed the bike in the car and off we went. We started in the Kircheller Heide in Bottrop-Kirchhellen. Despite the lack of sun, the forest paths are getting brighter because there aren't too many leaves on …

Nice tour with friend Uli.
Unfortunately also a lot of storm damage from the last week. Whole trees lie on the road, partly the road surface was pushed up with it.

We had a lovely tour with Petra, Anne, and Ralf, and many other cyclists😊 whom we didn't know. However, there were two "hurdles" to overcome.
Most of the tour was in the shade, so it was quite bearable even in blazing sun.
The actual tour began at the Rotbach stream. Before that, we had to gather some friends and get …

March 20, 2024,Tendinger See Runde

In keeping with the beginning of spring, we start our varied tour in the western Ruhr area in wonderful cycling weather. We had to move the starting point a few meters because the parking lot at the lido at Tendinger See is apparently only open in season. During the tour we passed some public parking spaces that can be used …
