Old railroad line

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Surprisingly, this well-developed former railway line (Haltern - Wesel - Venlo) is very easy to drive on. You drive on the natural ground almost like on asphalt.

July 14, 2024,Von Dorsten aus, durch den Kreis Wesel Kirchhellen-Heidesee-Elsbach/Pfingstsee-Hünxe-Dorsten....

Escaped from the big city again. A relaxed tour through the Wesel district. The tour starts in Dorsten. It doesn't take long before you're cycling in beautiful nature.
Through several small villages, over old railway lines and forests are also a must.

This very scenic and varied tour from @radrevier.ruhr leads from Dorsten train station through parts of the Hohe Mark Nature Park and the Kirchheller Heide, one of the most beautiful landscapes in the area.

A particular highlight of this tour is the Elsbachsee, also known as Pfingstsee, a subsidence lake resulting from coal mining. While your gaze will likely be …

On this tour (land outing) I start at Dorsten train station (unfortunately a construction site; the way from platform 1 is only possible via stairs). This stage is very rural. Just nice to cycle.

May 22, 2022,Landpartie: Höfe und Heide erfahren – radrevier.ruhr

Wow, one of the most beautiful tours I've done. You drive around the corner and get a WOW effect when you see the lakes and there are dead trees in the water everywhere. Everywhere it chirps or beeps. Wonderful. Then you come onto a street and feel transported back 150 years. Really great. I'll definitely do the round again and …

There is a large, free parking lot at the starting point. The leisurely tour runs almost exclusively along paths and streets with little traffic. Lake Elsbach is particularly beautiful! There are many places to stop for refreshments in Dorsten. In between there are several small farm shops to stock up on tasty things or drinks.
