The cycle path on a railway line connects Hattingen with Wuppertal and leads southwards with a slight incline through the beautiful hilly low mountain range landscape of the northern Bergisches Land. During the approx. 20 km route it even goes through 2 tunnels, of which the Schee tunnel is almost 800 meters long. In Hattingen you have a direct connection to the cycle path network of the Ruhr and in Wuppertal you can cycle along the Nordbahntrasse through the whole city.

Schulenberg Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The Schulenberg tunnel in Hattingen is an old railway tunnel that connected Hattingen to Wuppertal via the coal railway. Today the coal railway cycle route runs there and the tunnel eliminates the strenuous bypass that you had to undertake until a few years ago.

Ruhr Valley Between Hattingen and Bochum-Dahlhausen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Although I'm not exactly at home in this corner of Germany, but I can only recommend the Ruhrtalradweg.
In particular, I drove the piece between Essen Kettwig and Hattingen. If you think about what is happening around a traffic around, so this bike path is the purest recreation.
Thanks mainly to good road conditions, it is no problem with racing bikes.
If you want you can also settle in one of the many beer gardens and cafes and enjoy the great panorama.
Very well you can include the Ruhrtalradweg also in other bike paths, so that you get a nice big loop mostly without car traffic. (Nordbahntrasse, Kohlenbahntrasse and Niederbergbahn Panoramatrasse)

So long speech, short story. Top - from me a big thumbs up!

Riverside path along the Ruhr

Highlight • Trail

Here you cycle along the Ruhr at pretty much the same level as the river. In some places the Ruhr has overflowed the banks a little, but only by a few centimetres. It's fun to cycle through there. Since the path is asphalted, it's possible.😊
