Haltern, reservoir and four bridges

32 kilometres around the Haltern reservoir — over four bridges, through woodland and an avenue, with cafés and beer gardens along the way.

The route

You start in Haltern. You cross the Lippe, the Wesel-Datteln-Kanal, Silvertbach and Stever — four bridges characterise this route. The route is undulating, 160 metres of climbing over 32 kilometres, two thirds on asphalt, the rest on gravel. Along the way you'll find two churches, several monuments and, if you fancy a break, the cafés Malzers, Brinkert and Extrablatt or the beer gardens Bikertreff Vogel and Jupp am See. An avenue accompanies you on the way.
