    You drive straight towards the obelisk. The carbon coating reflects the sun and you can't miss it. The artist Rita McBride had a 14-meter-high, shiny black obelisk erected at an inconspicuous intersection between the Emscher and Rhine-Herne Canal in Altenessen.

        Beautiful work of art right next to the bike path.
