Schulenberg Tunnel on the Kohlenbahn

Highlight • Structure

The Schulenberg Tunnel is part of the old rail link between Hattingen and Sprockhövel, which is now fully developed as a cycle path. The tunnel is illuminated and passable all year round. The cycle path is paved in the tunnel. The rest of the coal track is mainly equipped with compacted gravel. In dryness with the road bike well drivable. More or less parallel runs the federal highway, if you should feel like it more ...

Historic Old Town Hattingen

Highlight • Historical Site

Hattingen is a real Ruhrpott pearl. In the past, everything in the small Hanseatic city was dominated by coal. The times are over, even if the Henrichshütte, which today serves as a museum, testifies to the glorious coal times.

You can not miss the old town in Hattingen. From the main street, it is best to look for the steel city gate, from where you can directly enter the 750-year-old labyrinth of picturesque half-timbered houses. If you have time, you can find one attraction after another here. In good weather, there are beer gardens and cafes in the many winding alleyways, here you can peacefully enjoy a coffee or a breakfast in a beautiful ambience.

Tuesdays and Saturdays from 7:30 am to 1 pm market is in the town hall square, which is well worth a visit.

Hattingens old town is quite large and one of the most beautiful in the whole Ruhr area. A great starting point for a nice tour of the pot. Hattingen is easily accessible from Bochum. From the main station the S-Bahn line 308 goes directly to Hattingen Mitte.

Towpath along the Ruhr

Highlight • Cycleway

The Ruhr is here, just south of the weir in Hattingen, very beautiful. The groynes are flat and have a pebble beach, where in good weather both humans and cow cool off. The bike path is good to drive, if you make something narrow, and interrupted by several cow barriers.

Climb to Langenberg Transmitter

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A long but fairly steady climb. From the very bottom, the climb is about four kilometers long, with brand new asphalt. The road invites you to climb and take a quick descent.

The average gradient is about six percent, with some exceptions reaching up to nine percent. It gradually flattens out towards the top. It's well-frequented by road cyclists and walkers.

Langenberg Transmitter

Highlight • Monument

3 ways to torment here, rest stop Bismarkturm.
By no means take the footpath suggested by Komoot in the northern ascent, but with a 38% incline, I'm down, but I'm not tough enough even with 34 to 32 Omagang.

Winding road up to Sender Langenberg

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The ascent directly from Langenberg is a bit winding through forests directly to the Langenberg transmitter. From there you have a beautiful view over the Ruhr area.

It then continues either wavy over the Höhenweg or down the Hüserstraße.
