This scenic ride starts in Witten, a charming city on the River Ruhr known for its industrial heritage and beautiful riverside parks. From there, you’ll pedal north about 20 km to Castrop-Rauxel, a town famous for its unique mining history and green landscapes.

The route is mostly on quiet paths and roads, with just a touch of gravel and unpaved sections to keep things interesting—but more than 80% is comfortably paved or asphalted, so it’s great for just about any bike. You’ll roll through some gentle ups and downs, climbing about 130 meters and descending around 170 meters overall, so nothing too intimidating.

Along the way, enjoy a mix of wooded paths and peaceful countryside, far from busy traffic. Castrop-Rauxel is your perfect destination to relax—maybe grab an ice cream on the Market Square or check out the old mine towers as a nod to the Ruhr area’s past!

Whether you’re after a laid-back day out or logging some easy kilometers, this route gives you a real taste of the region’s blend of nature and history. Happy cycling!
