Herne East Lock

Highlight • Structure

Impressive technical structure, which can be easily observed in its function if you have some time. In the upper reaches of the canal behind the lock you can see how much the water level is higher than the surrounding landscape due to subsidence due to coal extraction.

Junction of König-Ludwig-Trasse and Emscher Cycle Path

Start or End of the König-Ludwig Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

Not a nice highlight, but please just keep building the König Ludwig route.
Via Datteln "Hagemer Feld", over the "Im Winkel" bridge, over the Verbandstrasse bridge and to the "Halde Ewald continuation" to Oer Erkenschwick.
Then this highlight could also be omitted.

Highlight • Structure

You can buy honey from the private apiary BIENENHORT SUDERWICH in Recklinghausen directly on the former railway line. Delicious.

König-Ludwig Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The new route connects in the south to the already completed section to the old harbor König-Ludwig am Rhein Herne Kanal.
The KLT Bahntrasse was extended by the new section from the Ortlohstraße in Recklinghausen to the Becklemer Busch (Horneburger Straße in Castrop-Rauxel.
The new section is completely asphalted and is about 7,0 km long.
In the final stage, the former mine railway line from the Rhine-Herne Canal to the Halde General Blumenthal in Oer-Erkenschwick lead and there connect to the Haard.
I drove on to the ship lift Henrichenburg.
