Al:

On my preferred section, the Ruhr winds through wide floodplains in countless loops. It "swallows" its wild sisters Lenne and Volme south of the Hohensyburg near Hagen, and then follows a furious ride past castles, collieries and factories. There I am completely in my element. We even have to cross once. Hopefully the ferryman at Hardenstein Castle will still have a place free for us!

Cycling where the trains of the industrial era once rattled: on 113 kilometres with minimal ascents, the Ruhr-Sieg Cycling Trail crosses a rolling countryside full of natural attractions, most of its route following former railway tracks. One of the many highlights: the panoramic view over the vast Biggesee, a popular holiday paradise and, as one of the largest dams in Germany, still important for the water supply of the Ruhr District.

The Kahle Asten is the highlight of our trip, Alfred. From here, on a clear day, you can see all the way to the Ruhr! Then in a whirlwind down to Olsberg, past the legendary Bruchhauser Steinen. Speaking of stones: Ore and slate are mined in this area - and up on the hills Christmas trees thrive splendidly. How about a pine tree for your hilltop villa? Finally, the stage takes us to Arnsberg with its old monastery, romantic castle ruins, and inns that are up to no good and are well equipped to deal with cabbage.
