The approximately 25-kilometer city and countryside tour combines local history, the Ruhr Valley atmosphere, and relaxed cycling with electric support into a true discovery experience.

From the Blumen-Schley parking lot out into the region

From there, the group rolls along side paths to Bochum-Dahlhausen and then continues on a flood diversion of the RuhrtalRadweg. This creates a route that connects well-known cycling paths with quieter sections and opens up views of the diversity of southern Bochum.

Ruhr Valley, railway line, and Bürgerpark: varied impressions along the way

The course takes you not only through the Ruhr Valley but also along the railway line and through the Bürgerpark Oststadt in Essen. This combination is what makes the tour appealing: technology-supported ease, green sections, urban transitions, and scenic calm alternate in a pleasant rhythm. Those who want to discover Bochum and its neighboring city from a different perspective will experience culture and nature in a compact city tour on two wheels.

Short break, big impact

A short stop is planned in Steele to recharge for the return journey. After that, it's back to the starting point with renewed energy. The route includes about 90 meters of elevation gain, making the tour attractive even for experienced leisure cyclists looking for a moderate yet lively E-Bike experience.
