Stay overnight & cycle: Discover Essen on the RuhrtalRadweg cycle path
Experience an unforgettable bike tour! Spend the night at the Sheraton Essen Hotel and explore the RuhrtalRadweg. Enjoy the highlights of the 50- and 55-km routes, such as the picturesque Baldeneysee and the impressive Zeche Zollverein colliery. An adventure not to be missed!
There are two day tours. On day 1, the 50.6 km route from the Sheraton Essen Hotel first takes you along the Ruhr and Baldeneysee to the historic districts of Werden and Kettwig with their pretty half-timbered houses. You then cycle through the Ruhrauen to Mülheim an der Ruhr, where you can get to know the future of cycling mobility on a section of the RS1 behind the main railway station. The route then heads away from the Ruhr again onto the Grugatrasse. Here it is worth stopping off at the Margarethenhöhe garden city and making a detour to the former Gruga garden exhibition grounds before heading back to the hotel.
On day 2, you set off on a 55.9 km tour to discover the Ruhrgebiet's mining past! The absolute highlight is the Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site with its monument trail and Ruhr Museum. From there, continue along the Nordsternweg, a well-developed railroad cycle path to Gelsenkirchen, where the impressive Nordstern colliery awaits. Make a detour to the Tetraeder - the ascent is a little strenuous, but rewards you with exceptional photo opportunities and a unique view of the Prosper Haniel colliery and coking plant, which was the last coal mine in Germany to close in 2018. Head south via Oberhausen through the beautiful Hexbachtal valley and then return to the center of Essen via the Rheinische Bahn.
Experience two of the most beautiful sections of the RuhrtalRadweg and discover how much nature the Ruhrgebiet has to offer!
