For improved safety, the high-traffic Ruhrtal bicycle path was separated from the pedestrian path when the Ruhr wetlands were reconfigured. The two paths cross the Herdecker stream on separate prestressed granite bridges. The transition between the city, river, and wetlands defines the character of the new Ruhrvorland Herdecke urban district, about 10 ha in size.

Low-maintenance, near-natural meadows provide a counterweight to the intensive designs of the recreational areas and public walkways.
