The junction system in the Ruhr area - cycling by numbers

After the success in the Netherlands, the junction system also makes cycling easier in the Ruhr area. 280 information boards, which have been set up at important sights, central train stations and cycle path crossings, provide cycle tourists with the necessary information for their tour. 

Cycling by numbers 

Each point has been given a number between 01 and 99 to keep the system as simple as possible. The numbers of the junctions are also placed on the signposts pointing in the direction of the nearest towns or sights. So you always know the way to the next stopover of your tour in radrevier.ruhr!
