Essen and the Ruhr region are an excellent cycling area. This is due, among other things, to the numerous former colliery railway lines that have been converted into fast and direct cycle routes. This allows you to get from A to B not only comfortably but also quickly. For example, on a 13 km route through the west of the city. During a stopover at Margarethenhöhe , considered one of the most beautiful examples of the German garden city idea, you will experience what is probably Essen's most unique district. A trained guide will lead you through the district that Margarethe Krupp had designed according to her ideas and which today, due to the special ownership structure, can still choose its own inhabitants to a large extent. By the way, you are welcome to stay for lunch at the ‘Maggihöhe’. In the gourmet restaurant ‘M’ you will certainly be pampered to the hilt.
Then, freshly refreshed, you get back on your bike and after just a few minutes you reach the next highlight. The Grugapark with its 60 hectares is the green lung of the city of Essen and one of the most spacious and beautiful European city parks. A special eye-catcher there is, among other things, the Hundertwasserhaus , which you can already see on the way from the cycle path. From the 'Gruga' you will return to the hotel, where you can end the evening in a relaxed atmosphere.
