Discovery tours in the cycling area.ruhr
Cycling off the popular main routes! Our discovery tours complement that official area routes and also take you along lesser-known paths through the Ruhr area. While the official RevierRouten completely uses the signposted node system lead and are therefore our first recommendation for cyclists from outside, the discovery tours complement the variety of offers in the region and will also lead Ruhr area professionals to exciting places.
These are places that are not among the major visitor highlights in the Ruhr area. The tours lead along cycle paths, which are certainly not the big flagships in the radrevier.ruhr. If you can accept compromises in the quality of the cycle paths, you will find many cycle tours in the Ruhr area that are usually not overrun and where there is probably still enough freedom to enjoy nature and the peace and quiet. Whether short laps after work or for beginners, casual gravel tours in easy terrain, across the Ruhr area as a cross-border tour or something more unusual like our night rides - the discovery tours should simply inspire you for your next bike trip.
We recommend ours to anyone who values good trail conditions 15 district routes!
