Great cycle tour from Düsseldorf to the Hoheward spoil tip.
This long road bike route is a considerable endurance challenge and connects the state capital of Düsseldorf with a landmark of the Ruhr region. The route is almost entirely tarmac and takes road bike enthusiasts on a journey that culminates in the steep, winding ascent to the Hoheward spoil tip. This huge, green slag heap, one of the largest in Europe, has been converted into a park. The summit rewards riders with a spectacular panoramic view over the entire Ruhr region. The difficulty is determined solely by the distance and the final ascent.
