A special treat we offered at Gravel Ground 2025: a ride through the darkness, illuminated by headlights, to the lights of our city.
Even outside of the Gravel Ground festival, this short ride makes a great introductory loop. From the grounds of the Ewald coal mine in Herten, the route…

GravelGames 2023 (www.GravelGames.cc) - today we drove 2 routes of the GravelGames in Herten: The start and finish was the “Ewald Zeche” in Herten. The second route led to “Herten Castle” and “Westerholt Water Castle” - mostly along beautiful forest paths. Then we reached the “Allee des Wandels” cycle path (a cycle path over the route of a former colliery railway), which then led back into the NSG “Hoheward”. The cycle path led around the dump “around” back to the event site.
