Max von der Grün Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Max von der Grün (writer, was a former employee in the mining industry at the Königsborn 3/4 mine). The section of the "Klöcknerbahn route" named after him begins at the "In der Bredde" junction (Südkamen/Kamen Heeren Werve) and goes to the former Pütt KB 3/4.

The entire cycle path (mine railway, from/to Stockum cemetery, Klöcknerbahn, Max von der Grün from/to the former Königsborn 3/4 mine) is almost 23 km long and is simply great to ride at any time of day. The path is unlit and shady, so it is advisable to ride with lights. Water-bound surface, easy to ride. As a group/convoy, you ride one behind the other when oncoming traffic comes into view.

Five-Arch Bridge, Kamen

Highlight • Bridge

The Sesekebrücke, also known as the five-arch bridge, is one of the oldest railway bridges in Germany that is still in operation and has been preserved in its original state. It is located in Kamen and crosses the Seseke.

It was built in 1846 for the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft as one of the 14 bridges on the main line Duisburg – Wanne – Dortmund – Hamm. While iron bridges had been built in England since the early 1830s, in Germany only stone bridges were built. Not until a short time later did Casper Harkort open the first renowned iron bridge construction company in Wetter an der Ruhr.

The Seseke bridge is therefore made of ashlar in a simple, classicistic design language. The five arches are supported on pillars. The swampy subsoil required a foundation with oak piles. Three of the pillars were built as river piers, two as receiving waters. Since the canalization of the Seseke as a result of subsidence, none of the pillars are in the water.

Seseke Cycle Path

The Seseke Trail offers a direct connection between Bönen via Kamen and Bergkamen to the mouth in the Lippe in Lünen. There the Seseke-Weg is also linked to the Römer-Lippe-Route. Along the approximately 25-kilometer route, rest areas invite you to linger.

Seseke Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

For decades, the Seseke served as an open sewage watercourse. With the end of mining in the 1980s, the transformation of the Seseke began. After the waste water was freed, the Seseke and its tributaries could also be ecologically improved: The Seseke was redesigned into a natural, curved river course.
