Schwerte: Ruhrtal Gateway, Rohrmeisterei, and the Peaceful Town Where the Ruhr Leaves the Hills
Schwerte has a population around 50,000 and lies on the Ruhr river in Nordrhein-Westfalen, at the point where the river exits the Sauerland hills and enters the Ruhr lowland. The Rohrmeisterei, a former waterworks converted into a cultural and gastronomic centre on the Ruhr, is the town's most distinctive venue. The Altstadt retains half-timbered houses and the Marktplatz with the St. Viktor Kirche.
The Ruhrtalradweg (Ruhr valley cycle path) passes through Schwerte, making it a popular stop for cyclists. The Ruhr's transition from a fast-flowing hill stream to a wider lowland river is visible here. Dortmund is about 15 kilometres north. The Hohensyburg, a hilltop castle ruin with a casino, lies across the river. The Elsebad outdoor swimming pool uses Ruhr river water. Schwerte sits in the Kreis Unna. Adult companionship follows NRW's regulatory framework.
