Best trails near engl. Garten

The tour starts in Volkspark Gerthe. The route leads clockwise through extremely varied terrain to the south and then back again. There are wonderful country lanes, but also great little paths in the forest. Water is also a constant companion: the Ruhr and the lakes it forms are mainly found in the southern part of the route. Arriving at Bochum-Dahlhausen railway station, the surroundings become increasingly urbanised.

This loop route leads around the scenic Ümminger See, a popular lake park located in Bochum. The path transitions smoothly along the shoreline, passing green spaces and quiet water zones where native waterfowl like cormorants can often be observed. An industrial history shapes this area, as the lake was originally created to serve as a sedimentation basin for local mining operations.
