At this point you have made exactly half the distance from the source of the Ruhr in Winterberg to the mouth in Duisburg. The Ruhr Valley Cycle Path is a premium cycle path that is used by many cyclists.

Ruhr Bridge, Wickede

Highlight • Bridge

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

May 26, 2026,Neheim - Schwerte (Ruhr)

Around noon, at about 12:30 PM, I passed a village inn. On a large terrace, I saw several people sitting in the shade, with numerous bicycles with panniers in front of them. Then I thought, I could order something delicious for myself too...
When I had parked my bike and got closer, I saw that it was a group of …

June 4, 2025,RuhrtalRadweg - Tag 3 - von Neheim nach Syburg

A pleasant tour today. Mostly on our own paths, away from roads. A detour due to a bus stop unfortunately took quite a long time. Before Schwete, the route through the fields was somewhat monotonous at times, and away from the Ruhr. Near Schwerte, there were beautiful floodplains. Hardly any inclines along the route (except for the overnight stay in …

April 19, 2025,Ruhrtalweg Etappe zwei...heute war es schön ...schöne Ostern

After a fun evening in Neheim-Hüsten, we headed towards Schwerte after a good breakfast in dry weather. A lovely tour; at times we didn't take the Ruhrtalweg route; we didn't take it too seriously. Along the way, we met Christian and his wife again. It was a lovely reunion. We slept in a castle in Villigst. Really cool – no …

June 10, 2023,Brücke über die Ruhr – Ruhrtalradweg Runde von Neheim-Hüsten sehr schöne Tour

A very nice tour, a bit long, but a lot to see and almost only by the way. And when the weather is good, you can also put your feet in the water.

July 31, 2023,RuhrtalRadweg - Tag 2 Arnsberg-Hüsten nach Syburg

Unfortunately, today was a pretty wet tour. It wasn't really raining that hard, but the headwind made it pretty uncomfortable. But it was still a nice tour through green countryside along the Ruhr. I met my father for lunch at an Italian restaurant in Schwerte. In the afternoon we were picked up at the campsite by my ex-colleague Armin and …

May 30, 2025,Kurzes Treffen mit Miodrag - Stadtradeln 2025-12

The story behind the title: A good five years ago, we "crossed paths" here on Komoot and then on social media, but we haven't met in person yet. And then @Miodrag Knežević posted his luggage on Instagram in preparation for a longer tour. When I asked what was planned, the answer was "Ruhr Valley Cycle Path." Well, you practically pass …

July 27, 2022,Rurtalradweg Teil 3 Heute von Arnsberg nach Schwerte

Schwerte is reached and everything went smoothly today.
I'm not angry at all that it "only" became almost 60 km. As an addendum in Arnsberg, you should definitely visit the ruins of the castle
