The famous RheinRadWeg takes you upstream on the Rhine dyke to the harbor district of Ruhrort. The rest of the route is all about water. After a detour to the "Rheinorange" landmark at the mouth of the Ruhr into the Rhine, the circular route finally leads back to the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park via the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path and the Rhine-Herne Canal.
