ヴェルネの天然記念物・トップ20

This section of the route is a well-paved footpath and cycle path with a view of the species-rich Lippe and Lippeauen nature reserve. With a bit of luck, you might even see a kingfisher.

I usually prefer the path along the Lippe meadows. From the elevated path you have a great view over the Lippe, which winds its way here. It's also worth stopping and taking a closer look. In addition to geese, herons and cormorants, I have also been able to observe a kingfisher here 🥰

The Waltrop colliery was sunk from 1903 to 1905, i.e. H. built the shafts. It was the most important employer in Waltrop until the late 1970s. The mine was shut down on June 29, 1979. The remaining 1,294 employees were either put into early retirement or distributed to other mines in the region. Source: Waltrop. de

機械室のほか、管理棟と給料計算室、更衣室、倉庫、ランプ室、タービン室、中央機械室、機関車庫が保存されています。機械室と廃棄物置き場の間の立坑櫓および隣接する建物部分は姿を消し、緑地帯に取って代わられました。

Beautifully renovated site of the former colliery with Manufactum and Hase Bikes. Next to it is the small stockpile with the Spurwerk tower.

The idyllic landscape in the nature reserve is typical of the Lippeauen and consists largely of alluvial forests, wet meadows and mountain subsidence waters. Along the banks of the Lippe, the beautiful walkways meander through the nature reserve, surrounded by pastures and ponds that are home to many different species of birds. In this area, almost untouched by man, nature lovers can admire the picturesque landscapes and observe some species of birds. The Datteln-Hamm Canal is right next to the cycle path and you can enjoy both views :O)

The Beversee is a lake in the northern part of the town of Bergkamen in North Rhine-Westphalia. The forest lake is around 700 m long, 100 m wide and up to 6 m deep. It was formed between 1940 and 1942 in a depression caused by mountain subsidence. The valley is traversed by the Beverbach, a tributary of the Lippe, which is dammed at the western end of the lake in front of the Datteln-Hamm Canal. The size of the lake is regulated with the help of a pumping station. The Beversee is part of the 100-hectare[2] nature reserve of the same name, one of three nature reserves in Bergkamen. It is surrounded by a hiking trail, the entrances to which are at the Marina Rünthe (at the end of Hafenweg), on the B 233 and at the Bergkamen power station at the height of the canal barrier. At the latter two there are information boards about the lake and the nature reserve. From the Emscher Park cycle path, which runs on the other side of the canal, you can reach the lake via the barrage; the Römer-Lippe-Route long-distance cycle route runs on the canal side towards the lake. On the southern shore there is a small lookout tower overlooking the lake. The lake is part of the industrial heritage route, along with the marina, the canal and the neighboring Großes Holz heap.

Very very nice wooded area with paths going up and down. A break on the platform at the lake is worthwhile: many dragonflies.
