It took far too long for me to finally put my cycling holiday plans into action. In the midst of the Corona pandemic, I first got on my bike for a holiday in 2020 (back then on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path from Winterberg to Duisburg) and was absolutely thrilled that I could experience this kind of holiday […]

FINALLY: a nearly forgotten round thing is shining in the sky with full force on the cycle paths in the Ruhr area, bringing this completely rainy winter half-year to a glorious close with glorious warmth.

On September 24th and 25th, the grounds of the Ewald coal mine and the surrounding slag heaps will transform into a gravel mecca for cycling enthusiasts. This year, there will be even more tours, which can be either guided or followed independently […]

What's better than a bike ride? Exactly, a bike ride with friends. That's why I gathered a few people to join me on my favorite short bike tour: along the Springorum trail to Bochum Dahlhausen, along the Ruhr River to Lake Kemnade, and then along the Oelbach stream to Lake Ümmingen.
