Abenteuer Rhein-Herne-Kanal | Teil 1 von 2

Happy New Year! May it be better than the old one. Hello and good luck ⚒ To dear friends! ❤ We're cycling along the Rhine-Herne Canal (in two parts). We'll start where the canal ends. Hardly any other waterway offers such a charming contrast between nature and industry. It also offers the best views of the landscape and industry along its banks in the Ruhr region. Fresh air! Freedom! Bicycle! 🧔"Hey, it's really great to cycle through the Ruhr area." Our bike tour passes through the following cities: 🚴‍♂️Part 1 Datteln (Dortmund-Ems Canal) Waltrop - Tour Start (RHK confluence with the Dortmund-Ems Canal) Castrop-Rauxel Recklinghausen Herne Gelsenkirchen (Nordsternpark) 🚴‍♂️Part 2 Gelsenkirchen Bottrop Essen Oberhausen Duisburg Ruhrort Ports - Tour End 🧔"Man, yesterday afternoon in the Ruhr area, it was really raining. Such a miserable weather. Today the weather is great." In 1914, the 45.6-kilometer-long artificial waterway was opened to shipping. The five canal locks are used to overcome the elevation difference of 31.5 meters, depending on the Rhine water level. 🧔"There was a bit too much salt in the Manta dish." We cycled about 32 km today, including detours and detours. We're halfway there.
