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.

The cycle path largely runs parallel to the Baarbach stream. It's the most beautiful connection between Iserlohn and the Ruhr Valley Trail.

Today I had some really bad luck. 6 detours. Always when I didn't need them and when things were at their best. And then in Hagen, the municipal utility company that was mowing the lawn injured me in the leg when a stone was thrown out of the lawnmower as it drove past. Lol, but I had spray plasters handy.

It could be a very nice bike tour but unfortunately my friend Werner had an accident. He fell almost unchecked into the bush and fell. Thank God nothing happened to him, but unfortunately his Ebike was no longer roadworthy.
