From the bridge it is worth taking a detour to the weir. Have a nice picnic there and go for a swim. Great.

January 27, 2024,Runde von Wickede mit 🛩️-Platz 🥾🐶☀️

Good paths, beautiful area and the best weather today ☀️😊
Part of the way led over the Ruhrtal cycle path, which was okay too.
What I noticed again here is that bicycles 🚲 don't have bells these days, but owners do complain if you don't jump out of the way immediately 🙄

Here we hiked right into the forest. We stayed on the high trail for a while before heading down to the Ruhr. We crossed the road and went to the Ruhr promenade. …
