Rail Trail in Revierpark Gysenberg

The Geysenberg district park was the first park of its kind in the Ruhr area. There is a leisure pool, a sports hall, an ice skating rink and a large outdoor area with a climbing wall, petting zoo and much more. Mitten hindruch leads this former railway line. It was once the connection of the mines Mont Cenis and Constantin 4/5/11. Today, it is great to walk here and the route is a great change from the road even by bike. Although only a very short track bike path is around 1.5 kilometers long, it is still a nice change and another building block in the big train path puzzle. The route is partly paved, partly you roll over water-bound ceiling.

The shafts Constantin 4 to 11 were all interconnected by railroad tracks. The connecting line of the collieries, which also connected the coal mine Mont Cenis with the canal port of the colliery Friedrich the Great, was closed, the railway facilities were removed, only the bridges were left. On the route a foot and cycle path was created, which now connects the district park Gysenberg with the Constantin Park without crossing. From the Gysenberg the Sodinger road runs on the old railway line.

The Gysenberg lures with ice rink, small Tiepark and beautiful meadows and great hiking trails and the leisure pool Lago.
