The Benedictine abbey in Meschede offers carefully selected products. Arrival in Arnsberg with its well-preserved medieval Altstadt.
Day 4: Arnsberg - Fröndenberg (40 km)
At Wickede, the wooded mountains of the Sauerland along the Haarstrang merge into the Börde landscape. There are many old farms along the Hellweg that have survived the centuries. Arrival in Fröndenberg, the "town of chains".

In the "Zeche Nachtigall" museum in the Muttental valley, you can explore a real coal seam. In Hattingen, the old "Henrichshütte" is particularly worth seeing. In Essen, a detour to Villa Hügel is worthwhile.
Day 7: Essen - Duisburg (35 km)
Between Kettwig and Duisburg, the route leads through the town of Mülheim. There is plenty of nature here, as only a small part of the banks of the Ruhr are built on. Duisburg, where the Ruhr flows into the Rhine, is home to Europe's largest inland port.
