    Hiking

    The former Horst Mill is located in the Essen district of Horst. It is now an active hydroelectric power station. The listed building complex on the Ruhr is very old and tells a lot about the history of industry. It is part of the Industrial Heritage Route and the site can be visited.

    Unfortunately, the tall chimney had to be completely dismantled this year for safety reasons.
