Great, I did not know that there is still such a thing. Unfortunately, the flowers on photos is hardly to advantage, so go back and enjoy life!

View of the Ruhr

Highlight • Viewpoint

Signposting of the Ruhrtalradweg Ruhr upwards does not match the GPX track on the Ruhrtalradweg website. You have to decide either to drive according to the signs or to be navigated with the track.
