Overview

About this collection

Compact spoil tip highlights for getting a taste of radrevier.ruhr: short, punchy climbs on former spoil heaps, wide views across the region, and a touch of industrial culture along the way. The surface is mixed – lots of asphalt, plus gravel, cobbles, and occasional wood/metal on boardwalks and bridges. You mostly ride on paths and quiet roads, with a few short sections on busier routes.

There is no fixed start or finish – just jump in wherever suits you. A trekking or gravel bike feels most at home here; road bikes work too, but on loose gravel with some caution. The spoil tips bring elevation gain and small counter climbs, rewarding you at the top with views and rest spots.

Ideal as a relaxed after-work ride or a small appetizer for the big radrevier.ruhr. One climb up, deep breath, soak up the panorama – that’s spoil tip happiness.
