View of the Hundertwasser House (Ronald McDonald House, Essen)

Visible from the Grugatrasse, Essen's "Ronald McDonald House" is located on the Gruga site, a facility run by the McDonald's Children's Aid Foundation. The building was constructed according to the last architectural design by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser and opened in 2005.

Form signal for slow travel on Grugaweg

Highlight • Monument

On the Grugaweg we pass the northern park entrance at the orangery. Here is a second semaphore signal, which in its position with two bent arms represents the request to "slow travel".

Ruhr Floodplains in Steele

Highlight • River

A beautiful piece of the Ruhr valley cycle path. A dream, especially at dusk and when the weather is good. The mix of Ruhr nature, urban flair and old railway bridges is quite unique. Only one thing will rarely happen to you here: that you enjoy this beautiful bike path alone 🤓.

Spider-Man Statues on the Ruhr Towpath

Highlight • Monument

Breaking in here may not be so clever. Spiderman fans will get their money's worth.
