Location

A park in the Vogelheim district of Essen.

Participants

coyotebush

Plans

Train to nearby station Bergeborbeck or Altenessen, then bike.

Expedition

Transferring at Oberhausen. ETA 13:00 unless I stop for lunch first. -- Coyotebush (talk) @51.4747,6.8521 12:32, 9 August 2024 (GMT+02:00)

I biked from the Bergeborbeck station. Garmin routed me straight up Hafenstraße, while Google suggested possibly using the path along the creek. Hafenstraße had a bike lane to start, but that disappeared at the first intersection and the ride got more stressful. I located the creek path and found it thoroughly closed - oh well.

I turned onto, then crossed, Vogelheimer Straße and entered the park. Garmin led me on the paths right to the point - no walking needed.

Now I was definitely hungry, so I returned to Vogelheimer Straße and found a döner shop. Soon after I ordered, it started raining, and the very friendly shopkeeper offered to let me move my bike into the building hallway. By the time I finished eating, it was mostly dry out again.

I tried another Google-suggested back route that could have also led to Altenessen for a wider selection of trains, but this also hit a closure, so I had to go down Hafenstraße to the Bergeborbeck station again.
