    This free-floating staircase is a successful mixture of art and vantage point. From here you have a good view of the former coking plant of the Zollverein colliery.

      Real "rustic" stairs!
      Acts on me somehow "funny", but fits great on the terrain!

        Large staircase, not for people afraid of heights. The steps are made of transparent mesh.

          Free-floating stairs for a photo of the coking plant.

            Original staircase with the best view of the coking plant.

              More work of art than vantage point. But worth seeing.

                When you stand at the top, you have a fascinating view of the rusty industrial architecture, the huge pipes, conveyor belts and coke ovens.

                    Very nice place to look at the buildings from the stairs

                      Located at the old coking plant, the stairs to “nowhere”

                        The Zollverein coking plant is a cracked old industrial monument.
