If you happen to be cycling along the RuhrtalRadweg, you will pass the former railroad depot. The monument of the railroad water crane is a reminder of the importance of the station in Bestwig for the Ruhrtalbahn in the 1960s. Between 1870 and 1873, the village, which had only seven houses at the time, was given a railroad station. Until 1960, this depot was of great importance, especially during the steam locomotive era. At this important monument, you can obtain informative Wissen from the information board next door.
