With a little extra wattage, we'll climb the Haniel slag heap.
Somehow, late summer seems reluctant to end, and the mild temperatures are drawing us cyclists out into nature with all their might. Therefore, to round off the cycling season, I have a lovely autumn tour suggestion that's particularly easy to follow thanks to the junction network (you'll find the junction numbers in the info box below) and will show you the vibrant, colorful autumn scenery […]
Allgäu or Ruhr area? A sporty gravel ride across the Ruhr hills.
I admit, I too have fallen victim to marketing and succumbed to the huge gravel bike trend this year. The merits and drawbacks of this type of bike are certainly debatable, but it's equally undeniable that these machines are incredibly fun on the nation's gravel roads. Light, agile, and fast – […]
Harbor romance in Duisburg – By bike through the world's largest inland port
Spring is here, and after this long winter of the pandemic, it's drawing us outdoors into the sunshine more than ever. The popular bike paths are incredibly crowded this weekend – probably too crowded for many these days. So, I'd like to share a tour suggestion that takes you a little off the beaten track. Our discovery tours lead […]

You should be an experienced cyclist if you're planning to ride your bike through the dark […]
A completely different kind of holiday – Cycling on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path
Cycling is more popular than ever, and the 2020 holiday season was very difficult due to the coronavirus. So why not combine cycling and a holiday in Germany? I already cycle a lot. A few years ago, I even switched from car to bicycle for my 10-kilometer commute to work. But a holiday with the […]
Cycling life is full of challenges – the RuhrAroundChallenge
It seems to be human nature to constantly and willingly test oneself. Whether in competition against others or simply with oneself and against the world. For me, athletic competition against others isn't so important; instead, I enjoy setting my own challenges. I especially love long bike rides […]
(Un)typical radrevier.ruhr – between big ships, dike lamb and herring rolls
Yes, a bike tour along the North Sea coast can be wonderful, if it weren't for the long journey, which makes a day trip from the Ruhr area almost impossible. But perhaps a nearly comparable bike tour can be experienced at home in the Ruhr cycling region? Plenty of water, a ferry crossing, and seafood should be on the agenda: quite doable, […]
