Further informationCycling on Germany's first cycle expressway
The "Tour through the Green" begins and ends at the main train station in Mülheim an der Ruhr and initially takes you to Essen via the RS1 , Germany's first cycle highway. Fun fact: During peak hours, you'll even be faster on the cycle highway than by car!
Railway track cycling, historic old towns and pure nature
The Grugaweg, another former railway line, follows , leading you first uphill towards Essen and later downhill to the Ruhr River. Along the way, a visit to the Margarethenhöhe garden city is a must ; it's one of the most beautiful workers' settlements in the Ruhr region. The Ruhr Valley Cycle Path then takes you along Lake Baldeney to the historic districts of Werden and Kettwig (definitely worth seeing!), before finally leading you back to Mülheim Central Station through the vast expanse of the beautiful Ruhr meadows.
