Easily planned as a local loop.

Due to construction work for the IGA 2027, the Emscher Island in Gelsenkirchen's Nordsternpark has been closed since July 2025 and will remain closed until early 2028, resulting in significant restrictions for cyclists and pedestrians. Cycle paths are affected, and detours are in place north of the Emscher River and south of the canal. The canal bridge at junction 61 is also closed.

The Rheinelbe Park is located east of the Marienhospital. From there, the Rheinelbe spoil heap and the Mechtenberg landscape park can be reached quickly.

The structure is called a pier bridge.

A challenge for young and old!

The Herten Castle Chapel was actually built in 1908 on the outer bailey of Herten Castle. But the chapel had a history. The chapel's story dates back to the 14th century, when its founder, Wennemar von Grimberg, endowed it as a memorial for himself and his wife in 1328. Around 1560, the then lord of the castle, Heinrich Knipping, had the interior renovated in the Renaissance style and furnished with a magnificent altar. (This actually happened in Gelsenkirchen!) After a fire at Grimberg Castle (in Gelsenkirchen), the owner, Johann Hermann Franz von Nesselrode, had the entire complex completely redesigned starting in 1733, based on designs by Johann Conrad Schlaun. ] To save the by then badly dilapidated castle chapel (of Grimberg Castle in Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck) from complete ruin, the former lords of the castle had the structure dismantled stone by stone in 1908 and rebuilt on the outer bailey of their castle in Herten. The freestanding portal on the path leading to the chapel also did not originally belong to the church, but was the main entrance of Grimberg Castle and a design by Schlaun from 1735. It has stood in its current location since the 1960s.

A building worth seeing from the former mine.

Beautiful blue pumping station.
