14,12 km long
regional hiking trail

Moderately difficult stage, which starts very moderately, but later comes up with some demanding climbs. Hike between great creek valley experiences and high views. You hike through the valleys on dreamy, narrow paths.

Velbert to Essen-Kettwig

After starting near the large railway bridge in Velbert, the so-called Saubrücke, the route heads towards Rinderbach. This little river dominates the first half of this stage. Impressive flood retention basins bear witness to the now tamed elemental power of the Rinderbach. It continues past the abbot's kitchen pond into a beautiful valley section north of Heiligenhaus, into paradise.

In the second half of the stage we hike north in the direction of the Ruhr, which we reach near Isenbügel. A gigantic view of the Ruhr and Kettwig gets you in the mood for the finale of the stage, which ends just before the S-Bahn station Kettwig-Stausee at the Rindersberger Mühle. A stage of the great rivers of the region: Ruhr and Rinderbach.

Facilities

Good hiking shoes should already be. Depending on the season and the weather, a jacket is a must along the many cool streams and in the deep forests, as well as on the often windy heights.
