Railway routes in the Ruhr area - the banana cycle path
The railway cycle path "Banana Cycle Path" runs for 3,6 kilometers from the center of Dortmund southwards into the Emscher Valley, thus representing an important and frequently used cycle connection from the center to Phoenix Lake.

The development of the banana cycle path
The route was opened as a railway line in the 80s. The last sections were shut down for trains around a hundred years later and have now been converted into a well-developed railway cycle path away from road traffic. Since the actual railway embankment is even longer than currently developed, an extension of the banana cycle path is to take place in the next few years.
