Wickede (Ruhr)
The large W in the logo not only stands for the municipality's name, but also for a whole bundle of qualities that make the municipality of Wickede (Ruhr) attractive and forward-looking. You should experience exactly what these qualities are for yourself on a day trip or a stay of several days.
Water and vastness can be experienced in the Ruhr river valley and in the meeting of the Sauerland forest landscapes and the fertile Hellwegbörde. The Ruhrbogen district of Echthausen produces the best drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people. With 12,000 inhabitants and around 4,500 employees in companies, some of which are world market leaders, the town on the Ruhrtalbahn and near the Werl freeway junction is a vital tourism and business location.
In the summer months, the outdoor pool on the banks of the Ruhr invites families to take a sporty or relaxing break, while a bike park provides further variety and is the ideal place for young mountain bikers to work off their energy. Extensive forest areas "on the doorstep" offer the best conditions for varied walks, bike tours and hikes. Special highlights: the RundWickede hiking route, the town center with extraordinary flower arrangements or the new QuerFeldLand cycle route as a south-north tangent between the RuhrtalRadweg and the Römer-Lippe-Route. Other excursion destinations and highlights in the region are also just a few kilometers away, and within a radius of just 30 minutes you can reach the largest inland lake in NRW, the Westfalenstadion or the Philharmonie in Dortmund, the medieval architectural culture in Soest or Arnsberg as the seat of important state authorities. So it's well worth paying Wickede (Ruhr) a visit.
