At this point you have made exactly half the distance from the source of the Ruhr in Winterberg to the mouth in Duisburg. The Ruhr Valley Cycle Path is a premium cycle path that is used by many cyclists.

Ruhr River and Art Trail in Wickede

Highlight • River

Here you can enjoy not only the beautiful view of the Ruhr and its green banks, but also passes the art and Lyrikweg. Along the way you will find sculptures and steles. The Art and Lyrical Way would like to represent the themes of young and old, the Ruhr and the domestic economy of today and then with the exhibited objects.

September 23, 2025,Handelswege – Horizonte erfahren

This tour is part of the komoot collection "Regional Routes in the radrevier.ruhr."
A very beautiful leisurely tour with fantastic views towards Münsterland in the north and the beginnings of the Sauerland in the south.
Approximately 30% of the route is identical to the Ruhr Valley Cycle Route. However, the other roads and cycle paths are also free of significant …

This 45-kilometer circular route from @radrevier.ruhr starts in Unna and follows the traces of medieval trade routes along the historic Hellweg (Westphalian Hellweg). In the Middle Ages, a Hellweg was a military road or an important thoroughfare for long-distance trade, kept permanently clear of vegetation along a strip roughly three meters wide (about the length of a lance). The Westphalian …

I'll start with the 😫😱: editing this tour and synchronizing it from the website to the app was a disaster. It took me several hours, as well as reinstalling the app. Annoying.
The photos were all duplicated again. The order is still mixed up. That's why my captions are sometimes weird. I gave up 🥺

Tour idea found at radrevier.ruhr - thanks for the very nice idea!
Very varied .. the Hellweg as an old trade route in connection with the Rugrtalradweg. Start and finish in Unna.
Very nice everything!

August 13, 2021,RadrevierRuhr: Handelswege – Horizonte erfahren

Today I cycled the tour from the Ruhr area "Trade routes - experience horizons". I made a change because it didn't make sense to me why the tour doesn't pass the Opherdicke moated castle. In addition, I forgot😕 to cancel the break at St. Josef, so that the part up to the starting point of the round is missing .☹️

January 8, 2025,1. Hellweg [02-2025] - 🚲-Runde 2025 von Menden/Sauerland

Today, in sunshine with light clouds and +4 °C, I did a lap along the Hellweg between Unna and Werl. The approx. 48km were enough. On the Haarstrang above Dreihausen, my Bosch Nyon showed 13,000km. This means that I have covered 4,040km with the new, used bike since June 2024. My total mileage with all bikes in 2024 was 5,560km.

If the Ruhr area were flat, it would end here. A tour from the radrevier.ruhr route planner at the easternmost tip of the Ruhr area. Anyone who likes cardio and leg training drives with the clock (because of the long and many inclines); otherwise like us counterclockwise. There was a lot of activity on the part of the Ruhr cycle …
