The 200-kilometer-long Ore Trail connects the sites of the over 1,000-year-old mining tradition in the "Ruhr area of the Middle Ages" and incorporates culture and nature along the route. The experience is particularly vivid with impressive, almost bizarre remnants of the region's former mining history.
