E-Bike & Pedelec Tour: Experience Bochum's Industrial Culture on Two Wheels

This guided E-Bike and Pedelec tour combines movement, landscape, and Ruhr area history into a special discovery experience. On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the city tour starts at the headframe of the Zeche Holland and takes notable routes through industrial culture to Herten and back to Bochum.

Between Erzbahntrasse, Emscherbruch, and Halde Hoheward

The route reveals strong contrasts: first the historical track landscape, then the marshy nature experience in Emscherbruch, followed by the path to Ewaldsee and further through the Schloßpark Herten into the half-timbered town of Westerholt. Through the Allee des Wandels, Schlägel und Eisen, and the Zeche Ewald, the tour grows into an intense encounter with the local history of the Ruhr area.

Active Route with Impressive Perspectives

With about 50 kilometers, the tour is sporty, but due to its mostly flat course, it is well-planned. A potential ascent to the Halde Hoheward adds panoramic views and an atmosphere of structural change to the tour. Especially for E-Bike and Pedelec fans, this creates a vivid interplay of technology, nature, movement, and cultural enrichment.

Meeting Point, Orientation, and Practical Tips

The meeting point is the headframe of the Zeche Holland at Emil-Weitz-Straße 2 in Bochum. The tour starts at 10:00 AM and ends at 5:00 PM. It is free of charge. For longer sections, weather-appropriate cycling clothing, plenty of drinking water, and a roadworthy E-Bike or Pedelec are recommended. Those who want to discover the Ruhr region actively and with an eye for detail will find a guided tour with high experience value here.
