Further information
You can find us at our branch in Essen on the SeaSide Beach grounds. This is where we start our tour, which takes us all the way around Lake Baldeney. After a thorough briefing by our experienced guide, you will leave the SeaSide Beach grounds and ride on well-maintained paths—almost always right next to the lake—initially heading towards Heisingen. We pass the Carl Funke coal mine, which was shut down in the 1970s, and feel as if we have been transported back to a time when Lake Baldeney was not yet a recreational area, but coal was still being mined on its shores. Another relic from this era is the old Kupferdreh railway bridge, over which coal trains once rolled. Today, only pedestrians, cyclists, inline skaters, and us Segway riders are allowed to cross the bridge. We continue along the lake shore and arrive at Haus Scheppen, a former feudal estate and now a popular meeting place for bikers. There we take a break to stretch our legs and refuel (not the Segways, the riders) before continuing on our way. Passing the weir and with a view of Villa Hügel, we arrive in Essen-Werden, cross the Ruhr again and pass the regatta course. Then the beach club slowly comes back into view, where you can enjoy a cool drink and the warm sun after our tour.
