Saarn–Mintard Deichstraße Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Good asphalt road between Mülheim Saarn and Mintard. Occasionally a lot of car and motorcycle traffic, but still recommended for racing bikes. It is not suitable for (leisurely) touring drivers. They can use the remote bike route, which is more relaxed.

Ruhr Cycle Route — Mintard to Kettwig

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

On weekends when the weather is nice, I would take the country road a little further away, as it can get very busy there.

Kettwig's Historic Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Here you roll over the Ruhr bridge in Essen Kettwig. Out of the city you are super fast in the countryside. The city of Kettwig is really worth a stop. Old half-timbered houses, winding streets and all sorts of opportunities to stop in any case to take a break. Food Kettwig is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the pot!

The Esel Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Why is that called "on the donkey" here? The answer is: There used to be not this beautiful road here, but a steep path that the carters had to climb. The path was so steep that a donkey always had to be ready here to be harnessed to the carts because otherwise they would not get up here. In addition, there was always a saddled donkey waiting here in case the Baroness von Nesselrode felt the need to go to the forest.

Today there is a road that winds up in serpentines - quite remarkable for the Ruhr area. Not an inhuman challenge but a nice change. ;)

Schloss Linnep Scenic Road

Highlight • Trail

From Mintarder Berg, past Linnep Castle and up to the B227 - or of course the other way around. Very nice stretch of road past rapeseed fields, which bloom mostly in April.
Before you at Linnep Castle, there are 2 water channels in the asphalt. It can be uncomfortable.
