Beautiful historic station building located near the Ruhr. Well connected to public transport. Ideal starting point for tours along the Ruhr. The entrance building has been closed since 1979 and is waiting for a benevolent subsequent use. The tracks can now be reached by means of a high bridge.

The former train station and the square in front of it are the central point in Bochum Dahlhausen. Here you have the opportunity to rent bicycles, go shopping, rest on the benches by the water feature, or use public transport. A great meeting place to start tours.😉👍
