very beautiful path around the Emscherauen, from there it goes with very small interruptions to the Emscherland up to Henrichenburg

🌿🦆🚲 An impressive example of the ecological transformation of the Ruhr area! The Emscher floodplains on the border between Dortmund-Mengede and Castrop-Rauxel offer a unique mix of modern flood protection and renaturalized river landscape on the northern side.

I can't really judge whether the harbor is anything special. But cyclists should definitely stop by the area and visit the old boat lift.

The stormwater retention basin and the Emscher meadows are wonderful for both humans and animals. There's always plenty of birdwatching to be seen there, and the trails are perfect for cycling and hiking. (Currently limited, as the stormwater retention basin and the riverbank are being rebuilt.) And there are also concrete tubes where you can stay overnight, like at the Bernepark. https://dasparkhotel.net/
