This beautiful path leads off the road from the Kemnader lake in the direction of Bochum Langendreer or - depending on which branch you take later - up to the Ruhr and into the city. Significantly more pleasant than on the road, even with the road bike. Only to good weather peak times something full.

Kemnader See Weir

Highlight • Bridge

Very nice cycle path around the Kemnader Lake, asphalted and partly with three separate paths for pedestrians, skaters and cyclists. Good starting point for a ride along the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path. From here to the Baldeney Lake in Essen it is about 70 kilometers back.

Kemnader See – Witten side

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The advantage of the Witten side: a separate path that you don't (actually) have to share with pedestrians or inline skaters.
The disadvantage: the condition is unfortunately not good in places and full of damage to the roots.
So the tip for "passing through" racing cyclists: better to use the northern, Bochum side.

Update: June 2021: the worst damage has been repaired.
