The Kahle Asten is the highlight of our trip, Alfred. From here, on a clear day, you can see all the way to the Ruhr! Then in a whirlwind down to Olsberg, past the legendary Bruchhauser Steinen. Speaking of stones: Ore and slate are mined in this area - and up on the hills Christmas trees thrive splendidly. How about a pine tree for your hilltop villa? Finally, the stage takes us to Arnsberg with its old monastery, romantic castle ruins, and inns that are up to no good and are well equipped to deal with cabbage.

On my preferred section, the Ruhr winds through wide floodplains in countless loops. It "swallows" its wild sisters Lenne and Volme south of the Hohensyburg near Hagen, and then follows a furious ride past castles, collieries and factories. There I am completely in my element. We even have to cross once. Hopefully the ferryman at Hardenstein Castle will still have a place free for us!
