Contents

Following the motto “The journey is the destination,” we hike the Baldeneysteig in Essen over 2 days.

Although we’re right in the middle of the Ruhr region, you’ll find the most beautiful nature here. We’ll hike alongside the lake among lots of people, but once we head higher into the forest, things get quieter. We’ll spend the night on the grounds of an old horse farm above Essen-Werden and round off the evening by the fire.

The next day takes us across the weir and then quickly back up to the green expanses of Fischlaken. Here, farmland alternates with forest, and the lake keeps appearing to our left. One of my favorite sections takes us through a small birch grove above the tracks of the Hespertalbahn railway.

Along the way, we’ll take time to enjoy spring and strengthen our connection with nature.

Structure

On Saturday, we start in Essen-Kupferdreh and initially follow the Baldeneysteig right along the lake, then continue through Stadtwald and Kruppwald to Heissiwald (approx. 16 km). There, we cook a hot meal over the fire and spend the night in tents. On Sunday, we head back to Kupferdreh via Essen-Werden and Fischlaken (approx. 11 km).

The Baldeneysteig is considered moderate to difficult due to steep, unpaved sections.

Prerequisites

You should be in good physical health and able to carry a backpack weighing approximately 7 kg, as you must bring your sleeping gear (sleeping bag, sleeping mat, food for the day, and drinks).


Packing List

You will receive a packing list approximately 2 weeks before the event.

Board & Overnight

We will spend the night on the grounds of an old horse farm in Essen at Heissiwald.

We have set up two tipis there, and we will divide ourselves between them. If you would prefer to sleep alone and are willing to carry the extra weight, you can also spend the night in a tent or under a tarp. There is exactly one spot for a hammock, so please arrange this with us in advance!

There is a toilet and well water at the sleeping area.

A hot vegetarian dinner will be provided (vegan on request). You will need to bring your own food for the day.
