offene Radtour durch den Central-Park des Ruhrgebiets

Cycling may be restricted in places like Central Park, but in Germany’s Ruhr region, it’s not only allowed—it’s the best way to explore the vast green expanse of the Emscher Landscape Park. Covering more than 500 square kilometers and over 10% of the region, this “Central Park of the Ruhr” offers an incredible network of cycling paths, many of which follow former railway lines for a smooth, traffic-free experience. This guided tour spans approximately 35–40 km through the heart of this unique landscape, combining nature, industrial heritage, and fascinating storytelling. Along the way, you’ll receive a helpful guidebook filled with insights, anecdotes, and practical tips, making the journey both informative and entertaining.

The route is packed with standout highlights, including the iconic Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex, the striking Schurenbachhalde featuring a sculpture by Richard Serra, and the scenic Nordsternpark. You’ll also pass the Rhine-Herne Canal, the Emscher River, charming farm cafés, historic settlements, and even a whimsical “stairway to heaven.” Despite covering such diverse terrain, the tour crosses only a handful of roads, ensuring a safe and uninterrupted ride. With a knowledgeable guide bringing the region’s stories to life, this experience promises a surprising and memorable way to discover the Ruhr area—perfect for individuals, groups, or even exclusive company outings.
