Herbstliche Ruhr an der Brehminsel in Essen-Werden

Werden

Werden lies in the south, right on the Ruhr, and feels like its own little town: half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, the Basilica of St. Ludgerus, and an old town made for a leisurely stroll.

Hiking trails and the Weiße Flotte set off from the riverbank — Baldeneysee begins just next door.
