Highlight • Cycleway

That's what I call sensible recultivation: An old railway line from the colliery traffic of the time was converted into a very recommendable cycle path. There are also plenty of opportunities to take a break with a beautiful panorama.

Sterkrade Colliery — Shaft 1 Headframe

Highlight • Monument

The listed headframe above Shaft 1 and the associated shaft hall today serve as a reminder of the former Sterkrade mine. The foundation took over the industrial monument in 1997.

April 26, 2025,Industrie Kulissen Tour von Oberhausen Gasometer- Grüner Pfad - Landschaftspark Duisburg - Leinpfad an der Ruhr entlang - HOAG Trasse zurück nach Oberhausen

Hello,
If you're keen on exploring industrial scenery in the heart of the Ruhr area, you should take this tour. The tour runs largely along paths that run through green areas, partly along the canal and the Rhine.

Today I went on a tour that I found on nrw.tourismus.de Revier-Routes. I took the RE5 to Sterkrade. Overall, a great mix of great cycle paths, lots of greenery, industrial cultural monuments, active industry, plenty of water and beautiful parks. All in the big cities of Duisburg and Oberhausen.

Via Hoag-Trasse along the Rhine to Brauhaus Walsum. After the second dark night, forced to return via the Green Path to the starting point in Sterkrade!

Unfortunately, I got lost in front of the sewage treatment plant and couldn't get onto the dike path.
The path along the shore was unsuitable due to sandy sections.

Today I absolutely had to cycle the HOAG route. Arrival via Ruhrort, Laar, Beeckerwerth always along the Rhine. The route was really nice to cycle. It turns into the Green Path. At LaPaDu there was a small detour through the old industry. Rosenmontag in great weather super exploited.

Today on the Rhine dike from Ruhrort to Alsumberg I got wind from the side, I thought I was going to fly off my bike.
The wind was so strong 🌬🌬🌬
Nothing new in the graffiti tunnel.

Very nice route, unfortunately there is a small handicap. At a crossing of railway tracks it is a bit difficult for disabled bikes due to narrow beacons.
