An eerily beautiful memorial for the dramatic deterioration of traffic infrastructure is the birch grove, which was created between the railway tracks and signal boxes of the former freight yard. While the traffic jams on the surrounding highways and freeways, here is a ghostly calm returned. It will be interesting to see how the use of this gigantic area will develop in the future.

From here you have a good view of the disused 2007 shunting yard Dortmund on the Westfaliastraße. Nice to see here is how nature is slowly taking possession of everything again.
