Beautiful, varied route near Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia. A beautiful route that is particularly impressive in the sun and clear weather. You can then also see the "sundials". From the parking lot always along the canal (against the current), the route is usually signposted. There is an information board on the bridge in front of the Grimberg harbor. From there you follow the EPR / industrial culture sign color red cycle path. Until the Rhine Herne Canal comes, from there back along the canal (with the current). The Hoheward dump is also easy to bypass, then you have no mountain, but also no view. If you drive over the dump, you should return to the marked route over the Dragon Bridge.
