フォルクスパークカッツェンブッシュでののおすすめグラベルライド

A straight blue line in a green landscape—that could be either the Emscher River or the Rhine-Herne Canal. This spatial and formal proximity is no coincidence: To make room for the (clean) canal water used for shipping, the Emscher had to be diverted northward around 100 years ago, and the canal was allowed to fill its former riverbed. Such drastic changes to the landscape have long-lasting effects. Now, the Emscher is given as much natural space as is possible within the constraints of its heavily embanked course. But the surrounding landscape can also increasingly revert to what it was in pre-industrial times: swamp forests that regularly experience flooding. This makes an important contribution to both nature conservation and flood protection.

The singing rock, which you have to knock on to hear its music. The wonderful view is not to be missed.

Emscher Promenade from Herne to Castrop Rauxel

From here you have a great view of the mine.

The Old Racetrack in Gelsenkirchen

The "Balcony Promenade" circular route is peppered with numerous viewpoints. Since many of them offer very different views, it is worth stopping at more than one viewpoint.

Nice walking trail in the nearby area, perfect for a Sunday afternoon stroll

Nice to look at… well thought out… but if you “only” climb to the top of the slope, you will see just as much and well
