Ruhr Bridge and Freienohl Tunnel

Although you have a nice view of the Ruhr in the direction of Freiohl, the tunnel entrance of the train is also interesting on the other side.

What weather! It gave us a lovely tour. The Ruhr Valley Cycle Route from Oeventrop to Arnsberg. There was an airfield festival in Oeventrop. Very well attended and there was a lot going on in the sky. The castle ruins are worth a visit.
The view of Arnsberg and the Ruhr with the weather was great.
The place gives no …

Today from Meschede to Arnsberg because the little one didn't want to go that far today. The first few kilometers are along the main road and it's not really great but after that you're compensated. At the end our daughter wanted to go further but since we already had a room in Arnsberg that was the end for today.

Arrived in Freiohl, we took our bikes and went along the Ruhr to Arnsberg. Until Oeventrop very nice lots of nature. After that very mixed. The old town of Arnsberg is worth seeing with many rest stops.

The Ruhr Valley Cycle Route leads through the Ruhr Valley and does not have much to do with the Ruhr.

A very nice and pleasant route until then. Unfortunately had to stop after 30km due to a defect. Was planned differently.

Ruhr Valley Cycle Path... today from Meschede to Wickede and then via Schluckingen, Büderich to Westönnen. Recording canceled in Neheim... so there are about 35 km missing.
