Cycling to the best picnic spots in the Ruhr region

By the river, in the park, on a spoil tip – wherever your ideal picnic location is, you’ll find it in the Ruhr region. In this Collection, we present 12 cycling Tours to beautiful picnic spots near Dortmund, Bochum, Essen, and Duisburg. All the routes are loops that start at train stations, making them easily accessible from the city centres. The shortest is around 17 kilometres (10 mi) and the longest is just over 50 kilometres (31 mi), so there’s something for everyone.

If you’re not in the cycling mood or the weather isn’t playing ball, you can still stay active with our varied corporate fitness offer. Unwind with a spot of yoga, get gripped on the climbing wall or even play golf. Enjoy targeted training sessions at the gym or join one of our online courses from the comfort of home. Simply register with your HR department and get started with Hansefit. If your employer doesn’t yet offer Hansefit, you can recommend it on our website.

When the weather is on your side, these cycling Tours are wonderfully varied. Water often takes centrestage – you’ll take breaks at idyllic ponds, cycle along the Ruhr and Rhine, and circle two of the larger Ruhr reservoirs in Lake Baldeney and Lake Kemnade. There’s the occasional modest climb to a spoil tip that’ll reward you with wide ranging views. Add in the interplay of nature and industrial history along the trails and at places like the Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord and you’ve got the recipe for some superb cycling adventures.

So, pack your picnic blanket and explore the green corners of the Ruhr area with us. We wish you lots of fun!
