The industrial culture route by bike

A circular course with 300 varied kilometers by bike connects the most important industrial monuments of the Ruhr area as a route industrial culture by bike. Cyclists roll through the region very relaxed and often away from the traffic. Well-developed cycle paths over old railway lines and beautiful riverside paths show holidaymakers the unexpectedly green Ruhr area, which is not as densely built-up as many think.

Disused mines, impressive steelworks, prospective spoil heaps and lovingly designed workers' settlements tell the story of industrialization. The major anchor points on the Route of Industrial Heritage lead back to this once so important epoch. The big visitor highlights such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein, the Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord or the Gasometer Oberhausen cast a spell on their visitors: inside as well as the many small relics of industrial culture right along the way.

This industrial culture can be experienced up close by bike, and the ADFC-certified cycling region "radrevier.ruhr" stands for excellent cycling pleasure. A junction system helps with orientation and the circular route makes it easier to get there and back. The two main train stations in Mülheim an der Ruhr and Hamm / Westphalia in the west and east of the Ruhr area are ideal starting points for the Route of Industrial Culture by Bike. A car can be parked free of charge at numerous locations in the region. An eventful cycling holiday on the Route of Industrial Culture by Bike can begin in a relaxed manner.
