Hiking

Before motorisation, the towpath was used to pull ships up the river using horses. The so-called Ruhraaken were mainly used here, which were used to transport coal. The flow of the water extended downstream.

Hiking

The path along the river with a view of the castle and then the knowledge of the history of the path.

Hiking

The paved towpath (formerly created for horses to pull ships loaded with coal) is a bit more strenuous to walk over time (and especially when it is wet). You should definitely wear sturdy shoes at the start.
However, you also have to share your attention with the beautiful view and nature!
