- 5.0 (2)·Moderate·10 km·Est. 2.5–3 hrThis route explores the protected floodplain landscape of the Heisinger Aue nature reserve along the banks of the Ruhr. The path proceeds primarily on paved walkways and gravel tracks that run parallel to the water. Views extend across Lake Baldeney, where diverse waterfowl such as cormorants and grey herons are frequently present. The terrain remains largely flat as it winds through zones of willow and alder growth typical of the river valley. The area is also associated with a recurring...
- 3.9 (52)·Hard·100.9 km·Est. 24 hr+This epic route was designed for the extreme hiking event "Megamarsch" and leads right through the heart of the Ruhr metropolis. The path connects the cities of Mönchengladbach and Duisburg (start/finish points vary by edition) and explores an impressive variety of urban and natural spaces. The course follows a mixture of asphalted cycle paths, reinforced canal bank paths, former railway lines, and forest trails. A central highlight is the "industrial nature": the path leads past imposing...
- 3.0 (1)·Hard·41.7 km·Est. 11.5–12.5 hrThe "normal" permanent CTF of the Essener RG 1900 e.V. from 2017. This route is not for "just for fun". Although this "normal" version is significantly less demanding, at approx. 42 km and over 700 metres in altitude, it is more challenging than most permanent routes!!! The reward is very beautiful views of Lake Baldeney. Only available as a GPS track, not signposted. For further details see www.ERG1900.de.
- 3.0 (1)·Hard·97.7 kmChallenging run in the Ruhr region. This is the running route of the annual Megamarsch. As some sections of the route may be closed to traffic on the day of the event, it is essential to follow the road traffic regulations on the other days. Near the Romberg and Kreuzberg, the route is slightly uphill, so you can enjoy beautiful views of the city. Highlights: - Views of Mühlheim
