Ruhr Valley Cycle Path at the Ruhrfeldgraben

Highlight • Cycleway

The path does not lead directly along the Ruhr, but through the Ruhraue on a wide moat. You can take a nice look at the landscape.

View of the Ruhr

Highlight • Viewpoint

Signposting of the Ruhrtalradweg Ruhr upwards does not match the GPX track on the Ruhrtalradweg website. You have to decide either to drive according to the signs or to be navigated with the track.
