Industrial Heritage Bike Route - Loop

Cyclists enjoy the varied route along well-maintained former railroad-track bike paths and beautiful riverside trails that showcase the green Ruhr region. Steel mills, coal mines, and workers’ housing estates tell the story of industrialization. Landmarks such as the Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site or the Oberhausen Gasometer are just as captivating as the small relics along the way. The ADFC-certified cycling region “radrevier.ruhr” ensures an excellent cycling experience with guidance provided by a junction system. Starting points include, for example, the main train stations in Mülheim an der Ruhr and Hamm/Westfalen.
