    Ja, so ist der Niederrhein. Es wurde ein schöner, typischer Rundweg rausgesucht. Mir fehlten ein paar Sitzgelegenheiten. Aber die meisten Leute, die ich sah, saßen ohnehin. Auf Fahrradsätteln.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour durch viel Grün in unserem schönen Ruhrgebiet. Sollte ich die Tour noch einmal machen, dann würde ich mir ab Zeche Zollverein eine Alternativstrecke durch Essen suchen. Die Radwege, wenn überhaupt vorhanden, sind in Essen eine Katastrophe. Lag vielleicht aber auch daran, dass einige Wege durch Baustellen nicht befahrbar waren. Habe die Tour von Hamm über Dortmund bis nach Duisburg als Zielort gemacht.
