Mülheim an der Ruhr

Mülheim sits on the Ruhr river in Germany's industrial heartland, where flat riverbank paths meet rolling terrain inland. Cyclists dominate here — the Gravel Day in nearby Essen and Kettwiger Gravelride draw riders into the patchwork of gravel and forest tracks that crisscross the Ruhr valley. Runners find canal towpaths and parks suitable for steady miles, though the region's serious elevation (up to 150m in the surrounding hills) sits just beyond the city proper.
