Absolutely great and consistently concrete or tarred route in good condition. Depending on the time of day and the weather, you can heat up here with a racing bike on an almost flat route with great views in the green. A bell is advisable on weekends. At the Hausscheppen two-wheel meeting point that you pass, you can also strengthen yourself. This section is definitely one of my favorite places in Essen and well worth a visit. 🙂
