    The stormwater retention basin and the Emscher meadows are wonderful for both humans and animals.

    There's always plenty of birdwatching to be seen there, and the trails are perfect for cycling and hiking.

    (Currently limited, as the stormwater retention basin and the riverbank are being rebuilt.)

    And there are also concrete tubes where you can stay overnight, like at the Bernepark.

    The Emscher floodplains in Ickern with the Parkhotel Hof Emscherauen are worth a short or longer stop. If you want, you can also spend the night in large sewer tubes in summer.

    🌿🦆🚲 An impressive example of the ecological transformation of the Ruhr area! The Emscher floodplains on the border between Dortmund-Mengede and Castrop-Rauxel offer a unique mix of modern flood protection and renaturalized river landscape on the northern side.
