Krausstraße Bicycle Street

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The street was recently converted into an exemplary, great-looking bicycle path. It is now easy to get from the new Karl Lehr bridge to the Ruhrort harbor.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

You are also on the trail of Schimanski ... in a side street, I think from Hübi, he is supposedly looking out of a door ... (there is a Schimanski tour)

Haus-Knipp Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

On April 1, 1910, the construction of the bridge began, which was created with two stream piers over three stream openings as a two-track semi-parabolic truss girder by the Duisburg bridge construction company Harkort. The bridge was completed by the end of March 1912.
On March 5, 1945, the bridge was blown up by retreating German troops. Since the damage was comparatively minor, the Haus Knipp Bridge was the first railway bridge over the Rhine to be rebuilt in its old form between August 1945 and March 1946.
For 15 years trains only ran on one track between Duisburg-Beeck and Duisburg-Baerl. After extensive renewal of the superstructure, the bridge has been open to double-track traffic again since the beginning of 2013.

Start of the Route of Industrial Heritage

Highlight • Trail

Nice gravel road on the banks of the Rhein river. Suitable for road bike.

Alsumer Hill

Highlight • Climb

Another highlight that you better not tackle with the most sensitive tires, gravel to the driveway, short mountain 43 m at 430 m with an average of 9.8%, nasty troughs across the road disturb the rhythm, very uneven slope, which at the end times properly, 5 times in a row that would be what for neuromuscular masochists.

Rhine Ferry Walsum–Orsoy

Highlight • Bridge

The most beautiful way to cross the Rhine near Duisburg!
Take a quick coffee break with cake in Orsoy and then head over to Alt Walsum.

View of the Ruhr Weir

Highlight • Monument

Picturesque change of the cycle path from Pontwert to Ruhrorter Straße.
The following roundabout to the west, if you want to go north on the right side of the bridge, the bad, because narrow and winding introduction of the cycle path into the Ruhr cycle path towards Rheinorange and the tour to the south into the city center over cobblestones are good negative examples of typical German cycle path planning and execution of the construction work, how it can go can be seen 60 km further west. For many German urban planners, needs-based guidance is simply an unknown word.
