ergotec - Ruhr Valley Travel Passport
The Stamp Passport for the RuhrtalRadweg
What’s it all about?
Be sure to collect stamps diligently during your cycling trip along the route—not only will this give you a wonderful memento of your RuhrtalRadweg tour, but you might also become a lucky winner at the end of the year. Every stamp passport that has collected at least 10 stamps and is received by us no later than November 30 will be entered into a drawing.
For every stamp passport entered in the drawing, we’ll send a RuhrtalRadweg pin—regardless of whether you win—which will be mailed exclusively to stamp collectors. You’ll also find a RuhrtalRadweg sticker in the envelope for your bike, showing everyone that you’ve cycled the RuhrtalRadweg.
Where can you get the stamp passport and the corresponding stamps?
The ergotec® RuhrtalRadweg passport is available at every tourist information office along the route; you’ll find the addresses in the current tour guide as well as on the corresponding city’s stamp page. There, you’ll also have the opportunity to get your passport stamped.
