フェルクリンゲンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

素晴らしい景色、訪れるべきです！

A simple wooden bench by the wayside – just the right place for a short break. Nestled among leaves, light, and silent trees, you can sit peacefully, listen to the forest, and let your gaze wander along the path before continuing on.

The Blower Hall is a must-see. I was thrilled.

The Völklinger Hütte (Völklinger Ironworks) is comparable to the Duisburg Nord Landscape Park. An El Dorado for photographers and industry enthusiasts.

It's nice to see how nature is reclaiming the old industrial complex.

I would have loved to see the machines in action. I found it fascinating that 40 years later, the place still smells of machine oil. https://youtu.be/Cw4eXEtGkL0?si=Lo_Y-WplCfcc2tCK

The inclined elevator at the Völklinger Hütte is unique in the world. Electric-powered overhead railway cars transported pig iron, coke, and scrap 27 meters up to the blast furnace platform, from where they were fed into the six blast furnaces arranged in a row. This engineering feat from 1911 is one of the unique features that led to the Völklinger Hütte being declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. https://youtu.be/f8Aeoa7q2Mk?si=HluKQ5lwirOkhoTg

In this hot, dusty area, hard coal was processed so that the blast furnaces could be fired at higher temperatures. This is how it worked shortly before the mine closed in 1986. https://youtu.be/lQW3vVXoPNU?si=lCQ--a-dZJ6nk44G
