Definitely go up to the roundabout with a view of the A3 motorway - we've driven there so many times without ever suspecting the valley below.

A very interesting building, right in the middle of nature.

"About 40 meters above the Ruhr River, the historic Steele City Garden invites visitors to stroll and relax on its 4.2 hectares – and, of course, to enjoy the view of the Ruhr Valley. On the opposite bank of the river lies the Überruhr-Hinsel district with its 'House Under the Rainbow,' a facility for assisted living on the Gewalterberg hill. Downstream, the Spillenburg weir can be seen. In this 204-hectare drinking water catchment area, 50 million cubic meters of water are extracted annually. The light blue swimming pool below the City Garden belongs to the Steele 11 swimming club, which has been welcoming swimmers and bathers here since 1911." https://www.essen.de/dasistessen/leben_im_gruenen_/aktiv_im_gruenen/essener_aussichten_.de.html

The Witzhelden Forest Nature Trail was established in 1965. It is an approximately 5 km long circular route with numerous information panels about the individual plants. The nature trail can easily be combined with the Witzhelden Fruit Trail for a hike around Witzhelden.

The Catholic St. Anne's Chapel is a listed church building in Essen-Rellinghausen. Its history dates back to the early 16th century. The previous building was an expiatory chapel built in 1516. [...] Restoration work from 1973 to 1975 provided valuable insights into the chronology and the changes made. In 1985, the chapel was listed as a historical monument. To this day, every July 25th, the name day of St. Anne, a procession takes place to commemorate the desecration of the sacrament by the theft of the host. It leads from the St. Anne's Chapel to the Collegiate Church of St. Lambertus. Source and further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St.-Anna-Kapelle_(Rellinghausen)

Not pretty, but functional. A great starting point for hikes in the beautiful countryside.
