The Mosel, yes. The Loire, yes. The Rhine, yes. The Danube, yes. The Ruhr? Nah, only Lancasters at 20,000 feet, mate.
I’m sure it’s true but this ‘little’ (it’s longer than you think) route from Tourenfahrer-Motorrad magazine might be worth looking at, just the same. It’s in the Sauerland, a popular enough destination for bods wanting to visit the dambuster dams.

Even I can work out that is the source of the Ruhr river but, here’s a Google translation of the blurb:
Does the Ruhr fit in with its origins
rather reserved at Winterberg
in a contemplative landscape of
Hochsauerland, she will be in her
Course more and more dominant and
ultimately eponymous for one
whole, formerly of heavy industry
embossed region. Because of her mouth
at Duisburg, the Ruhr is finally one
Tributary of the Rhine and takes over
until then on their way especially the
Water supply to a metropolis.
Certainly worth a trip along the
Ruhr the visit of Quelle and Mün-
dung. Is the mouth barely visible,
it takes several for the origin
Signpost for exact localization

From the GPS code (correct the magazine’s mistype to:
N51 12.913 E8 33.496) Google maps will show you exactly where it is:
Tapping on the camera gives:
While you were there, you could try out this suggestion:

Changing the Google road map to the satellite view and then zooming in, it shows it to be much more rural than one might imagine. At over 300 km in length, it might well make a good day out.
