- Destination: Rindersberger mill in Essen-Kettwig
The stage begins in Velbert, with a leisurely, gentle climb near the "Saubrücke," a former railway bridge made of natural stone. Initially, the Rinderbach stream accompanies the route until the landscape opens up towards the Abtskücher Teich pond—an idyllic spot of nature that locals call "paradise" for good reason. Here lies the Abtsküche Museum Landscape in Heiligenhaus, which boasts an environmental education center, a forest and water museum, a fire department museum, and a local history museum. Beyond, the Ruhr region awaits, with sweeping views over the Ruhr and Essen-Kettwig district.
