May 18, 2023,230518-0930 SGV Vatertagstour

SGV bike tour on May 18, Ascension Day, with open-air church service at Haus Friede. Way back via Wodan and Deilbachtal, along with the Ruhrtalradweg - not the best idea to get ahead quickly and safely on Father's Day when the weather is nice. In addition to the cycling tour guide Roland, there were: Bernd, Christiane, Elke, Gerd, Johannes, Martina …

May 10, 2026,Von Ruhr zur Ruhr - kurze Strecke

The Essen district of Überruhr is enclosed by the Ruhr on three sides. So we cycle along the Ruhr towards Baldeneysee, then follow the Deilbach and then through the Wodantal with a new cycle path. Once over the hill, we reach the Kohlenbahntrasse, which is now also asphalted. It rolls comfortably to Hattingen and we head home along the Ruhr.

May 14, 2022,Überruhr Wodantal

A shorter weekend tour, the cycle path from Kupferdreh to Kidney Court, touches on some commercial areas that are hit by many trucks on weekdays. From Nierenhof it goes to the Wodantal, a short less beautiful part of the way. Contrary to expectations, it drives through the Wodantal quite well on a narrow but separate path. Over the mountain in …

June 13, 2024,Mit Hindernissen zum Deilbachradweg (Hat./Vel./E.) 13.06.24

Phew... I'm not that fit yet. Balkhauser Weg was terrible. First I was in too high a gear, then the climb seemed to never end. After a couple of breathers I had conquered it and went quickly down to Nierenhof... where the railway barrier remained down - overhead line damage on the route - the police came, saw it and …
