ドルトムント周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The renaturation of the Emscher, previously known as the dirtiest river in Germany, is an outstanding example of environmental restoration work. Through this initiative, the river has transformed from a former industrial wastewater pipeline to a natural body of water. This change underlines the success of sustainable environmental projects and their positive impact on local flora and fauna. It impressively demonstrates how previously polluted areas can be revitalized through targeted measures.

Here the Lenne flows into the Ruhr. Both rivers have their source in the Sauerland. Anyone who has visited the springs will be amazed that these two small rivulets each turned into stately little rivers.

The Hengsteysee is located near Hagen below the confluence of the Lenne and the Ruhr. At the time of its commissioning, the mixing of the acidic and iron-containing Lenne water with the alkaline Ruhr water resulted in increased sludge precipitation and thus an intensive cleaning effect. Today, it is primarily the Ruhrverband's ultra-modern sewage treatment plants that ensure the water quality, but the reservoirs are still essential as a fine purification stage for discharged rainwater and as a bedload trap for river gravel from the Lenne. In addition, the Hengsteysee has been used since it was commissioned as a lower basin for the Herdecke pumped storage power plant (Koepchenwerk) built by RWE. Due to the pumped storage operation, the water level in the Hengsteysee can fluctuate by up to 70 centimeters. In 1988/89, the sediment deposited up to that point, amounting to around 400,000 cubic meters, was removed from the Hengsteysee using a dredging process. s.a. Ruhrverband

You should take a little break in the small beer garden just above. Beautiful view of the Ruhr and the Lenne estuary.

Be careful after a rainy night. On the narrow path you have to follow a serpentine line driving... when there is oncoming traffic it becomes stressful. I've already destroyed my tire twice. /nail or glass/ With the length of the tour, boredom arises, as it goes straight ahead and no change can brighten the view.

General information about the Dortmund-Ems Canal (DEK) and DEK cycle path The DEK runs between the Dortmund city harbor and Papenburg through the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony, past the "Henrichenburg" ship lift and the larger cities of Münster, Rheine, Lingen and Meppen. It was opened in 1899 and is approximately 225 kilometers long. The height difference is about 70 meters, there are three river crossings - Lippe, Stever and Ems. The canal can be crossed over numerous bridges. There are always rest areas and small town harbors along the canal. The Dortmund-Ems Canal cycle path mostly runs directly along the canal or later the Ems and is around 350 kilometers long. It connects the Ruhr area with the North Sea coast (Emden) and was opened in 1999. Along the canal it is almost free of gradients, with a few exceptions when there are interruptions caused by power plants, for example. The path is mostly gravel and partly tarred so that it can be easily driven even in rainy weather. Due to the numerous options for calling and staying overnight, it is very suitable for both a day or multi-day tour.

The Rheinische Esel is a disused railway line from Bochum to Dortmund. Gentle inclines and magnificent views. The Westfalenstadion (I just don't like these name sales) can also be seen from afar.

Nice bridge gladly again
