CHALLENGING TOURS

Registration for the tours is possible on site at the Ruhr Tourism booth.

Tour „Trailtour light“ with Jochen

A slightly slimmed-down version of the big Gravel.Trail.Tour on Sunday over “only” 43 kilometers. Under the motto “Gravel meets MTB”, more challenging trails are on the program.

In addition to passages on the cross-country trail on the Hoheward spoil tip, the popular Brammen.trail on the Schurenbach spoil tip is the big highlight of the tour.

Tour “With E is no sport, they said” with Jochen

The Ruhr region probably struggles with just as many unjustified prejudices as e-biking. Letting the motor lazily pull you up the mountain and leaving your heart rate in the cellar as relaxed as possible - no, not on this tour.

Jochen shows you in a nutshell that even with a motor, your pulse can beat at full speed. That's why a little stamina is just as helpful on this mini tour as a little riding technique and a full battery - both in your body and on your bike.

Tour “Through the green Ruhr area into the Haard” with RC Buer

The tour from RC Buer Westerholt into the Haard is particularly suitable for sporty riders. The Haard is the largest contiguous forest area in the Ruhr region and boasts a huge network of paths and trails for ambitious bikers.

At 54 kilometers and 300 meters in altitude, this gravel ride is long and challenging and should also be ridden at a sporty pace.

Tour “HaldenSchotter - Gravel.Trail.Tour over 10 slagheaps” with Jochen

This gravel ride is a sporty declaration of love to the slag heap landscape of the Ruhr region. And the tour deliberately ventures into mountain bike terrain, as many trails can also be experienced wonderfully on a gravel bike.

No fewer than 10 slag heaps are covered - some classics and some lesser-known gems. The highlight is the popular Brammen.trail on the Schurenbach spoil tip. Due to the large number of trails, the average speed is rather low for gravel bikes, hence the long riding time.
